Definition

Tech Run & Talk #1: Longevity & Health is a running and networking session held on 17 June 2026 from 19:00, starting and finishing at Spark Club Sentier, 10 Rue du Caire, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. It is organised by Pitch in Motion, which runs a series of tech runs through the VivaTech week, in partnership with Jojo, an AI longevity and health startup. The format gathers founders, investors and innovation leaders for a shared run rather than a seated event.

The session is a roughly 6 to 7 km group run at about a 6:30 per kilometre pace, with no badges and no pitches, followed by a post-run drink. It is capped at 40 participants, with on-site showers at Spark Club. The longevity and health theme is anchored by the partner startup Jojo, which builds AI that turns body signals into health insights. Registration is free, through Luma, subject to host approval.

Where it sits in the VivaTech week

The run is the first episode of Pitch in Motion's tech-run series across the VivaTech week, which runs six sessions over four days. Its sport-based format offers an alternative to the week's receptions and dinners.
