How to register

The registrations are closed, the limit of 34.500 competitors has been reached. No more registration will be accepted.

More than six weeks away from the start, the Paris marathon has equalled its record number of entries with 34 500 participants who will set off on the 42,195 km of the route on the 4th of April next. Preoccupied with the comfort of the marathon runners and notably to avoid bottlenecks in the starting and finishing zones, the organisers have decided to close entries at the same level as last year (34 500 entries, 31 000 starters, 29 036 finishers), numbers which are comparable to entry levels for the London and New-York marathons.
