Lacoste - Club Lacoste Roland Garros
Lacoste has been the official partner of Roland-Garros since 1971. This year, to celebrate the tournament, the brand took over Rooftop Horizon in the 16th arrondissement, transforming it into a four-day pop-up experience: a full tennis court installed on the rooftop, with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop, a boutique, a bar, and a series of events around the tournament. Novak Djokovic stopped by. The place was electric.
We were lucky enough to be part of it.
On May 21st, MRC opened the week with a 6km evening run through Paris, starting and finishing right on the rooftop. Once everyone was back, the court took center stage. A Winner Stays tournament got competitive fast: you win, you stay on, the next challenger steps up. The last two players standing walked away with tickets to Roland-Garros. A DJ set and catering on the terrace rounded out the night.
Running, tennis, Paris in May, and a Slam on the horizon. We'll take it.
