A new concept in active dating

Léman Running innovates with Léman Running AffinityA series of walks specially designed for singles looking to meet new people in a relaxed, natural setting. Say goodbye to apps and formal dinners, and make way for walking, spontaneous exchanges and an environment conducive to genuine connections.

As soon as it was launched, the concept was a resounding success, so much so that it was featured in the 19h30 news programme on the French TV channel La Presse. RTS on 16 March. In response to growing demand, several new dates have been added to the programme. ( see all dates )

An original and dynamic format

Each tour follows a well-established format:

• Duration : about 3 hours
• Principle : natural speed dating, with a change of partner every 15 minutes for the first three hours
• End of the tour : a free hour to continue discussions
• Distance : approximately 10 to 11 km, with a medium to medium-plus level of difficulty

Mini-randos on weekdays complete the offer, with a great response, such as the 6km loop at the Aubonne Arboretum. Two long hikes in a more fun format also attracted 50 people to La Givrine on 2 August 2025 and 40 to Le Marchairuz on 3 August.

Far from being an extreme ordeal, these walks are sporty but accessible. They never exceed 3 hours and are aimed at people who enjoy walking, chatting along the way and keeping smiles on their faces as a group. Léman Running remains a sports-oriented group, not a social club. These outings complement the “J'irai Rando chez toi”, where members share their favourite routes with the community. All the dates >
