The Paris Marathon was established in 1977 during the beginning of a craze for big city international marathons. Paris hosts one of the largest and most popular events of its kind in Europe, thanks to the lure of the romantic city and an abundance of stunning architecture.

As the official Irish Tour Operator for the Paris Marathon, we can guarantee your place in this great marathon. The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is now one of the biggest marathons in the world, as much for the size of its field as the performances of its runners. Each finisher comes home with incredible memories. Nearly 145 nationalities and 55,000 runners come to tackle the most fabled long-distance discipline in athletics. In April, this race across Paris, taking in the Champs Elysées, the Bois de Vincennes and Boulogne, offers an incomparable backdrop, with spectacular views and landmarks all along the route.

Run through the most famous avenues of the French capital. From the foot of the Arc de Triomphe the route heads towards the Place de la Concorde. From the Rue de Rivoli you sweep through the Place de la Bastille. You will catch a glimpse of greenery in the Bois de Vincennes which has views of the Eiffel Tower before you head towards the finish line on the Avenue Foch. Every year, this unique and spectacular setting attracts more and more entrants. There are now more than 23,000 runners from abroad, making up 40% of the field.

The 3 star Ibis Cambronne (smaller rooms and bathrooms) is well located near public transport for you to take part in the marathon and the 4 star Mercure Wagram is located in the city centre within walking distance from both the start and the finish.

From the Rue de Rivoli they’ll then sweep through the Place de la Bastille. After a glimpse of greenery in the Bois de Vincennes, views of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower point the way home.

Every year, this unique and spectacular setting attracts more and more entrants. There are now more than 23,000 runners from abroad, making up 40% of the field.
