Key Facts

The 2027 Paris Marathon on Apr 11, 2027, is one of the world's largest races with about 55,000 runners. It starts on the Champs-Élysées, passes the Louvre and Seine, and finishes on Avenue Foch. The course is fast and Boston-qualifier eligible.
Why attend here
Come for the marathon, stay for the spring awakening of Paris: the course unfurls past the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs-Élysées, and along the Seine to the Eiffel Tower, with the city's chestnut trees just coming into leaf. After you cross the line, treat yourself to a café crème at a sidewalk bistro, a warm croissant from a nearby pâtisserie, and a lazy wander through the Jardin du Luxembourg. April in Paris is mild and less crowded than summer, making it the perfect time to soak in the romance of the city without the tourist crush.
