With a history dating back to the 19th century, the city of Paris has a long record of hosting some of the world’s great marathons. The current event, known as the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, which (Covid aside) has been run annually since 1976 is now one of the biggest races in the world  with over 54,000 finishers. With the ease of access from the UK it has always been a popular race with British runners with more than 4,000 UK competitors taking part in the 2025 edition. 

Starting on the famous Champs Elysées by the Arc de Triomphe, Paris’s wide straight, relatively flat roads are perfect for running 26.2 miles in a company of thousands. The route itself takes in many of the city’s key sights and attractions, included the Place de la Concorde, Place de la Bastille, Pont Neuf, the Eiffel Tower and the Bois de Boulogne

Our trip to the Paris Marathon, which includes guaranteed entry to the 2026 race, is based on three nights’ accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis on the wonderful boutique hotel, Le 37 Bis, which is a 15-minute walk from the start near the Arc de Triomphe.
