2026 Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris

FIT had a fabulous time at our inaugural trip to the city of lights, and we cannot wait to return for a third spring weekend in Paris. The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is one of the largest marathons in Europe, with over 50,000+ participants so it is for sure a marathon not to miss; plus you will run past some of the most iconic landmarks in the City of Lights! Public entry is sold out, but you can still run Paris with guaranteed entry through FIT. Join us for an unforgettable race weekend!

As the race states:

The French capital's [marathon traces the] most famous avenues and plazas, from the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, where they take the start, towards the Place de la Concorde. From the Rue de Rivoli they'll then sweep through the Opéra Garnier, 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 to the Arc de Triomphe
