About The Event
The "FAST5000" meeting is a highlight of the French athletics calendar. Created in 2021 by a team of athletics fans in the western suburbs of Paris, with the support of the Houilles, Montesson and Maisons-Laffitte Athletics clubs. Since 2023, the event is part of the ON : TRACK : NIGHTS series.
​
A DAY OF RUNNING, PBs AND FUN
​
The "sporting spectacle" provides a unique athletics experience for runners and spectators.
For the runners, everything will is be set up to help them beat their record: pacers, wavelights, refreshments before and after the race, seeded races, physios, attractive prizes, crazy atmosphere, and much more! (see info) In 2021, 60% got a PB and 80% an SB. All the (men's) places were sold out in under 10 days. In 2022, 68% got a PB and 96% an SB!
​
For the spectators, the meeting is more than just running: music, food trucks, beer trucks, entertainment and the opportunity to get down on the track to be right next to the runners (see info).
​
The meeting is an afternoon of high level racing, fun and records!
