The biggest marathon in Europe takes place in Paris. The Paris Marathon, which traditionally takes place in spring and where many runners run their very first marathon, is highly regarded for its magnificent route along the highlights of the French capital. For instance, the route takes runners along the Eiffel Tower, the Palais Garnier and the Bastille. In addition to the urban environment, which runs mostly along the Seine, part of the course leads through the forest of Vincennes and just before the finish through the forest of Boulogne. Start and finish are near the Arc de Triomphe. Altogether a course where there is a lot to see and experience, in a fantastic atmosphere! Besides the marathon, the half marathon is also an option.

The time has come! The starting gun sounds on the famous Champs-Elysées. The course is generally fairly flat, but very diverse. The highlights are the Bastille and the many music groups along the course. All in all, it contributes to a beautiful and unique experience. The time limit of the marathon stands at 5 hours and 40 minutes. Especially for the experienced runner, this will certainly not be an obstacle. If you finish the marathon within the time limit, a nice medal and a certificate will be waiting for you.

The city of love, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. This way you can in fact keep on talking about Paris, a city you can never get enough of. Art, history and gastronomy come together in this place. A stroll along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, one of the most famous streets of the French capital with several cafés, bistros and shops, is definitely worthwhile. At the end of this long street is the Arc de Triomphe, another historical highlight of Paris. A visit to this metropolis is never boring and always surprises the visitors with new perspectives.
