Paris International Marathon

The Paris International Marathon traditionally takes place in April. Around 30 000 runners participate to this great city marathon and Parisian event.

It kicks off on the Champs Elysees, passes along the Louvre on its way to Bois de Vincennes, then along the Seine river banks, the Eiffel tower and Bois de Boulogne up to the arrival on Avenue Foch.

An excellent way to combine sports and a Paris visit that we really recommend if you are fit.

The last Paris Marathon was April 11th 2010. Results are on the Paris Marathon web site. Participate to the 35th edition of the Paris International Marathon on April 30th, 2010 (to be confirmed). The competition is open to professionals and amateurs alike. 

If you come to Paris in March, you can participate to the Paris semi-marathon. In October, you can also participate to the Paris 20 kilometers. Two great Paris races, a lot easier than the full scale marathon.
