Participants have to finish the race without spilling the drinks on their tray. Here they are running up boulevard Sébastopol.

La Course des garçons de Café (waiters’ race), started and finished at Hôtel de Ville (city hall) and took place late June every year. Bar and restaurant waiters and waitresses ran an eight-kilometer marathon while dressed as wait-staff, jogging along with a tray and a few drinks.
