The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is now one of the biggest marathons in the world and perfectly combines a personal challenge with the chance to discover one of the world's greatest cities.

Race day will see you pound the pavements of the French capital's most famous avenues and plazas. Starting at the foot of the Arc de Triomphe, and finishing with views of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower to guide you home. Every year, this unique and spectacular setting attracts more and more entrants. There are now more than 23,000 runners from abroad, making up 40% of the field.

All runners will have to provide a medical certificate to be able to run, this can be obtained from you GP and a template for this is on the official website.

We’d love to see you take on this incredible fundraising challenge with The Ella Dawson Foundation. Whether you’re running for a loved one, for the 4,693 young people diagnosed with cancer every year, or as a personal goal, your efforts make a life-changing difference to young people affected by cancer.

Our mission is simple: to ensure every young adult diagnosed with cancer has the tools and support they need to live well and feel empowered. Your fundraising helps us provide tailored, dedicated and personalised psychological, emotional, physical, nutritional, and wellbeing support to young adults and their families across the UK.

When you register, you’ll receive: ✅ A welcome email ✅ A fundraising pack ✅ A Charity Technical T-Shirt for training and event day

We’ll support you every step of the way - from now until after your event!
