Paris, along with Berlin and London, must be amongst the best European marathons going, if the scenery was the qualifying factor. Luckily for Paris, there is also the amazing atmosphere, the iconic route and a start line/finish line to add to the list of reasons why this is a race that should be run, at least once. Leon B
An outstanding marathon in a beautiful city. Darren B
This was the first time I've done Paris marathon and the biggest race I've done so far, overall I thought it was awesome and will definitely do again. Mark W
The start on the Champs Elysees and the finish with the Arc de Triomphe as a backdrop was just awesome! Jodene S
Absolutely loved this race. From the iconic start line of the Champs Elysees, running past stunning palaces, the banks of the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, some nice rural parks and the finish line looking back up towards the Arc De Triomphe... what's not to like! Paul W
