On 12 April 2026, the Marathon de Paris (titled Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris) returns as France’s premier marathon, welcoming over 50,000 runners from around the globe. The route begins with a grand start from the Champs-Élysées and flows eastward past the Place de la Concorde, along Rue de Rivoli, through the Bastille, into the Bois de Vincennes, and then loops back via the Seine banks, Île de la Cité, Bois de Boulogne, and finally onto Avenue Foch for a spectacular finish. The race is run entirely on road, using wide boulevards, riverside paths, and select park sections with modest elevation change, designed to balance scenic appeal and competitive pacing. Auxiliary events include the Run For All 4 km, children’s races, a pre-race expo (Run Experience), and charity bibs, making the marathon weekend a festival of running in Paris. As one of the world’s largest city marathons, it combines elite competition, mass participation, and cultural tour through the heart of Paris.
