About the route:

The route aims to highlight the most beautiful places in western Paris (Eiffel Tower, Trocadéro, Arc de Triomphe, Bois de Boulogne, Roland Garros, Maison de la Radio, Grand Palais, Tuileries, Pont Royal, Berges Rive Gauche ...) while maintaining a high level of security. For elites and competitors, the course is rolling and limited in recovery. It is intended to continue based on the feedback of satisfaction we have received.

The route is intended to be festive thanks to the many musical entertainments that punctuate it, bringing you joy and giving you energy to cover kilometer after kilometer.

The configuration of the start and the 23 waves starting every 3 minutes ensure excellent flow without traffic congestion in the first kilometers and without congestion at the finish line!

Refreshment and hydration stations will be located at the 6th, 10th, and 15th kilometers, as well as at the finish line.

Our "Clean Race" goals are renewed to be even more environmentally friendly, and to help us achieve this, water bottles must be thrown in the designated containers. Targets will help you aim straight! And don't forget that when you registered, you committed to not littering the course.

You will fully enjoy Bois de Boulogne for approximately 4 kilometers along Allée de Longchamp and Allée de la Reine Marguerite.

After leaving Bois de Boulogne, you will follow Roland Garros via Boulevard d'Auteuil, then take Boulevard Murat at Porte Molitor to reach the roundabout at Porte de Saint-Cloud and avoid zigzagging to reach the riverbanks. This new part of the route will be much smoother, with fewer turns and a short descent to reach the riverbanks.

The rest of the route will take you on a great Parisian classic, the banks of the Seine! You will follow the Seine to Pont Royal, passing by Trocadéro, Grand Palais, Place de la Concorde, and Tuileries Gardens.

After crossing the Seine, you will follow it again on the banks to Quai Branly.
