Whether you’re a fervent runner, a Sunday jogger or not at all sporty, the Paris Marathon remains an unmissable event in the life of the capital! The date has already been set for the next edition, which will take place in April 2025. Date, route, practical information and registration… We give you all the details!
The Paris Marathon, a highlight of the sporting calendar
After a stellar year for sport and events in Paris due to the Olympic Games, Paris will return to a less hectic pace in 2025! A return to normality? Yes, but the Parisian way, because the City of Light has no intention of resting on its laurels! Among the events on the sporting calendar in 2025 will be the arrival of the Tour de France in July, Roland-Garros in May/June and the Saut Hermès in March!
And then there’s that other event so dear to the hearts of Parisians and foreigners alike, because absolutely everyone can take part, pro or amateur, it’s the Paris Marathon!
One of the world’s greatest marathons
Since its inception in the mid-1970s, the event has grown to become one of the biggest races of its kind in the world! This year, a record 55,922 people took to the starting line! The most determined runners prepare for the race months in advance, and every year enjoy the postcard-perfect setting in the heart of Paris!
In 2025, on Sunday April 13, thousands of participants will take up the ultimate challenge: to run 42 km through the streets of Paris!
The 2025 Paris Marathon course
The course is an essential element of this event! We’re running, of course, but on a specially-designed trail to provide participants with a memorable experience! For the duration of the event, the heart of Paris and its greatest sites seem to vibrate for the brave athletes!
The route runners take changes significantly from one edition to the next! Last year, after kicking off near the Champs-Elysées, participants were lucky enough to pass by the Opéra Garnier, the Carrousel du Louvre, Notre Dame and, of course, the Eiffel Tower… The city’s most emblematic landmarks were on offer!
What about the 48th edition? The route has yet to be unveiled, but it won’t be long now, and we already know that it will hold a few surprises in store for runners, supporters and television viewers alike!
