Paris Marathon 2017 !
Every year the “ShneiderElectric” Paris Marathon is a major event! It is one of the most famous marathons in the world and in 2017 around 57,000 runners from 140 different countries will be taking part.
42.195km in the most beautiful city in the world.
Running in hot and sunny weather with a cool breeze on the Avenue des Champs Elysées, in the Bois de Vincennes and the Bois de Boulogne – what’s not to like?
Like the Tour de France, you can follow the runners live and admire the beautiful landscapes of the capital (with aerial views of the Place de la Bastille, Rue de Rivoli and even of Notre Dame cathedral) on the TV channel France 3.
The Paris marathon is both a sporting challenge and an opportunity to discover Paris!
An international competition in Paris
The Paris marathon is not just reserved for Parisians. Only half of the participants live in Paris and a third are from overseas, which is testament to the dominance of the Ethiopian and Kenyan runners who have been the winners for the past 10 years.
