Paris Half Marathon 2027: Entry

The Paris Half Marathon takes you from the vibrant Place de la Bastille, the route then heads east along the banks of the Seine, passing modern landmarks such as the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand before entering the leafy expanse of the Bois de Vincennes. Runners loop back towards the city centre, taking in Parisian boulevards and historic streets including the Rue de Rivoli, before finishing back at Bastille. The course is known for being relatively flat and fast, ideal for both first-time half marathoners and those chasing a new personal best.
