The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is more than just a race — it’s a journey through the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Covering the legendary 42.195 km distance, you’ll join tens of thousands of runners from around the globe for an unforgettable experience.
From the breathtaking start on the Champs-Élysées with the Arc de Triomphe behind you, to the sweeping views of Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the leafy paths of the Bois de Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne, every step immerses you in the magic of Paris. The electric atmosphere, cheering crowds, and world-famous landmarks will carry you all the way to the finish line.
By taking on this incredible challenge with Focus Ireland, you’ll not only achieve a personal milestone — you’ll help us in our mission to end homelessness in Ireland. Every kilometre you run, every stride you take, will support vital services that change lives and give people the security of a place to call home.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Paris will leave you with memories to last a lifetime — and the knowledge that your run made a lasting impact.
Lace up. Take on the City of Light. Run to end homelessness.
