Every year some 50,000 runners come to Paris to run the Paris Marathon. Start: Avenue des Champs-Élysées

The Paris Marathon’s 50th-anniversary edition in 2027! The Paris Marathon starts every year on the Champs-Élysées, and nearly 50,000 participants will set off to complete the legendary 42.195 kilometers that separate them from the finish line. From the Rue de Rivoli to the banks of the Seine, passing by the Palais Garnier, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, the runners and the thousands of spectators who gather to cheer on their loved ones—as well as strangers who have come to take on this physical challenge—discover Paris’s landmarks along what remains one of the most beautiful courses on the world circuit. African athletes dominate the top spots and push the limits of the race. The race records are held by Kenyan Elisha Rotish, who clocked 2:04:21 for the men’s race in 2021, and by Ethiopian Shure Demise with a time of 2:18:34 in 2026 for the women.
Registration for the drawing: September 8-30, 2026. Drawing on October 1, 2026. Race bib: €169.
