The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris will take place on 15 November 2020
July 6th 2020
In order to organize the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris in the best conditions possible, we have decided, in consultation with the City of Paris and the Paris Police Department, to postpone the date of the race.
The new date set for the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is Sunday, 15th November 2020. The Paris Breakfast Run will be held on Saturday 14th November.
We will, of course, be monitoring the situation as it develops and will be carefully respecting the directives of the health authorities and state services with whom we are cooperating closely.
Each registrant will receive an e-mail by the end of July detailing the practical arrangements. This e-mail will state that all Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris participants will be automatically entered for the 15th November 2020 edition with those who signed up for the Paris Breakfast Run automatically entered for 14th November. Those who cannot participate on these dates will have 15 days to make their unavailability known and consequently receive a credit, valid until 31th December 2021, that can be used to participate in any A.S.O. event. After this date, if the credit has not been used in full, the remaining balance will be refunded to the bank account used for registration.
We are well aware of the inconvenience caused by this extraordinary situation and the impact on your plans. We thank you for your patience and will do our utmost to host you in the best possible way.
News of Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris
June 5th 2020
After a long few months in lockdown, we sincerely hope that all is well with you and those close to you and that you’ve been able to begin readjusting to normality. With a bit of luck, you will have been able to do some sort of physical activity each week during the lockdown. We don’t know about you but we can’t wait for everything to go back to normal so we can put our fruits of our training to the test in a timed course.
As you know, the COVID-19 public health crisis has profoundly impacted sport, on an amateur and professional level. A.S.O. hasn’t been able to organise a public event since the beginning of March. Within this context, on the 7th May, the French Council of Ministers voted for a resolution detailing how we can respond to questions concerning the cancellation of our events. It means that up until the 15th September 2020, we are able to offer you a voucher for a similar event that will be valid for 18 months instead of an immediate refund.
This means that following the cancellation of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris on the initial date of 5th April, you will benefit from a voucher with a value equivalent to what you spent on the bib and additional options. You can use this voucher to sign up for more A.S.O. events over a period of 18 months, after which, any unspent funds on the voucher will be refunded to you.
We are currently working very hard to put these vouchers in place for the large number of riders/runners who had been preparing for our events over the last few months. In mid-July, you’ll receive an email specifying the value of your voucher and the practical information on how to claim etc. We regret any inconvenience caused by this exceptional situation and we thank you for your understanding.
In the meantime, we wish you all the best and we can’t wait to see you, even if our priority remains the health of everyone.
We hope to see you soon!

Celebrate running
February 28th 2020
Whether you're a runner, travelling with a runner or here to support one, come and join our great celebration of running in the Paris Breakfast Run, an untimed 5 km run through the heart of Paris. Finishers will be rewarded with breakfast at the foot of the Eiffel Tower…
The 2020 edition has attracted more people than ever! A record-breaking 65,000 runners from 150 countries will make this the second biggest marathon on Earth. Over 40% of you will be tackling the fabled distance for the first time on 5 April…
Disabled sport takes centre stage at the Marathon!
February 14th 2020
This year, the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is proud to be hosting the French Disabled Sport Championships over the mythical distance for the first time. Whether you’re in a racing wheelchair or accompanied by your guide (visually-impaired athlete), Paris awaits you!
A new concept for a new decade. The Salon du Running has evolved into Run Experience, a massive celebration of the sport in all shapes and colours, from regular running to trail running and triathlon. The new format will set up camp in the heart of Paris Expo Porte de Versailles just a few days before the 44th edition of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris.
The Salon du Running has evolved into Run Experience to offer visitors a more holistic experience. Run Experience boasts over 200 exhibitors on a surface area of 26,500 m², plunging runners who come to pick up their race numbers and other visitors who practise running into a new atmosphere focused on testing new products and simply having fun.
Run Experience has to be THE big event for runners of all levels —from weekend warriors to marathon runners— and all the stakeholders in the world of running. A forum for exchangesthat brings running to life in every dimension: product tests in real-life conditions, conferences, films, meet and greets with celebrities and a place where running lovers will find equipment, gear, the latest products to hit the market, tips from pros, accessories, services and the newest trends.
The Running Arena, a 200-metre track set up in the heart of the venue —half as long as an actual running track— will be the focal point for the activities of Run Experience in 2020. It is a multi-surface test track on which all visitors can discover and get to grips with products from all the brands present at the show free of charge. A DJ will fill the centre of this area with sick beats while visitors enjoy a wide range of activities (yoga, fitness, etc.) and discoveries. "Five major players will set up shop close to the arena: ASICS, Hoka One One, Salomon, On and Alta. These brands will have direct access to the test track and give visitors an exclusive experience with product tests", explains Charles Mabille, who oversees Run Experience.
The new version of the event plunges visitors into the heart of running, an iconic sport that millions of people in France live and breathe every day! A wide range of well-being areas also awaits, with massages, physiotherapy assessments, chiropodists, coaches and more. There will also be two dedicated areas: one for trail running, with a test track, and another for triathlon, with a transition area featuring a swimming pool. Finally, visitors will get to attend conferences punctuated by numerous talks and inspiring meet and greets with athletes and experts.

49 155 runners at the start of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris 2019!
April 14th 2019
Abrha Milaw and Gelete Burka are the winners
Paul Lonyangata will have to wait to become the first three-time winner of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris. 49,155 runners started the 43rd edition, with the Kenyan winner of the previous two editions capitulating to Abrha Milaw at the end of the race. Gelete Burka made it a double for Ethiopia, crossing the finish line ahead of the men (who had started 16′39″ later) to take victory in the women's race. French runners also shone today, with Clémence Calvin (fourth) rising to high expectations to smash Christelle Daunay's national record (2 h 24′22″) and Morhad Amdouni breaking the 2 h 10 barrier in his marathon debut.
Key points
• Paul Lonyangata meets his nemesis
• Gelete Burka crosses the finish line ahead of the men
• French runners shine with Calvin and Amdouni
Abrha Milaw takes the throne Paul Lonyangata's reign in the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is over. The Kenyan runner, undefeated since 2017, was unable to stop Ethiopian Abrha Milaw from taking the crown. Victory was only decided at the end of a controlled and suspenseful race. There were still six runners in contention with less than 6 km to go, including top favourites Paul Lonyangata and Ethiopian Asefa Mengistu. However, it was another Ethiopian, 30-year-old Abrha Milaw, who blew up the leading group almost without breaking a sweat. The winner of the last Marathon des Alpes Maritimes made his move at km 39 km, as the race went past the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Neither Lonyangata, who was running with a right forearm splint, nor Mengistu was able to respond to his vicious attack. Milaw crossed the finish line with a time of 2 h 07′05″, 20 seconds ahead of runner-up Abraha Mengistu and 24 seconds ahead of the winner of the two previous editions, Paul Lonyangata.
Gelete Burka by a whisker The ladies managed to beat the elite men to the line after starting with a margin of 16′39″. The women's race went down to the wire. The win was still up in the air 30 km into the race, with three Ethiopians, Gelete Burka, Azmera Abreha and Azmera Gebru, and Kenyan Sally Chepyego locked in a fierce battle. Geleta Burka upped the pace with just one kilometre to go to drop her rivals. Only Gebru managed to follow at the beginning, only to crack and watch from behind as the winner of the 2018 Ottawa Marathon surged to her first victory in Paris with a time of 2 h 22′47″. The 10,000 m silver medallist in the 2015 World Championships beat Azmera Gebru by 5 seconds. Azmera Abreha took the bottom step of the podium, 48 seconds back.
All eyes were on her today. Clad entirely in black and hiding behind her shades, Clémence Calvin made an impressive display of fortitude to surge near the end and claim fourth place with a time of 2 h 23′41″. It was a stellar performance that smashed the French record held until now by Christelle Daunay (2 h 24′22″) and qualified Calvin for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Morhad Amdouni was also on a good day. Running in his first marathon, the European 10,000 m champion defied the odds to finish eighth with a time of 2 h 09′14″, also good enough for a ticket to the Olympics. Nicolas Navarro (2 h 11′53″), Florian Carvalho (2 h 12′53″) and Benjamin Malaty (2 h 13′25″) capped the French performance by taking places 10 through 12.
Frenchman Julien Casoli took his third win in the disabled race. The bronze medallist in the 5,000 metres in the London Paralympics finished the marathon in a time of 1 h 36′54″, easily taking a third victory to go along the ones he claimed in 2012 and 2015.
Instant reactions
Gelete Burka: "I'm delighted to add my name to the list of winners of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris. I suffered in the bitter cold this morning, but I managed to focus on my goal and on getting this victory I wanted so badly."
Abrha Milaw: "It was a complicated race with a strong field. I was able to stick to my plan. I stayed with the favourites and then went for it with every ounce of energy I had left."
Clémence Calvin: "I held on until the end. Paris gave us the welcome I expected. I want to thank Paris, France, the Federation and everyone who's supported me. The boiling lava of Auvergne runs through my veins."
See you on 5 April 2020 for the 44th edition of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris.

43,537 runners took part in the 42nd edition of the Marathon de Paris on Sunday 8th April. This colourful community was made up of 26% women, 32% foreign runners (from 115 nations) and 36% of newcomers to the distance, which wound through the world’ most beautiful city in spring-like weather conditions.
The title holder, Kenyan Paul Lonyangata, claimed a double in front of his countrymen Mathew Kisorio and Ernest Ngeno. In the women’s race, Kenya’s Betsy Saina sprang a surprise to win ahead of her countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich and Ethiopian Gulume Chala.
08/04/2018 - Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris 2018- ASO/A.Vialatte
A double for Lonyangata and a surprise victory for Saina
Last year, Paul and Purity wrote one of the nicest love stories in the history of sport, by both winning in their respective categories of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris. Although his wife was unable to race this year due to illness, it did not stop Paul Lonyangata from claiming victory once again. Paul Lonyangata was first to cross the finishing line with a time of 2:06’25’’, 11 seconds ahead of Kisorio and 16 in front of Ngeno, his two countrymen.
Few competitors in the history of the Paris Marathon have crossed the finishing line twice as winners:Jacky Boxberger (in 1983 and 1985), Ahmed Salah (in 1984 and 1986) and the British runner Steve Brace, the only competitor to have won twice consecutively until today.
It has to be said that the battle between the six women who were still together after 33 km was a tough one. Betsy Saina win with a time of 2:22’56’’, 3 seconds in front of Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich and 12 ahead of Ethiopian Gulume Chala. The surprise was that Betsy Saina, 5th in the 10,000 m at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and winner of a half-marathon with a time of 69’17’’, had never before completed a marathon.
Jean-Damascène Habarurena finished 17th on the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris as the first French runner. In the reckoning for qualification for the European Championships, Habarurena did not manage to beat the time he was aiming for with a time of 2:15’13’’, one second ahead, Nicolas Navarro.
The para-sports race witnessed the Japanese competitor Hiroki Nishida claimed the first international victory of his career with a time of 1:30’02’’, in front of multiple Olympic Champion David Weir (1:30’52'') and Spaniard Jorge Madera Jimenez (1:30’53’’).
There was a wonderful surprise for the finishers after more than 6 hours of running with heavy legs: they were welcomed and congratulated by the winners of the race, Betsy Saina and Paul Lonyangata, a genuine symbol of fraternity!

Pitch Marathoon's : Congrats toon's
April 7th 2018
More than seven hundred 5 to 10 years old children came together this morning for this fun and sporting occasion on the Champ de Mars.
On the schedule of this Pitch Marathoon's: a village with many activities (make-up, a brass band, a clown, etc.) and two races, a 1.2k race for 5 to 7 years old and a 2.2k race for 8 to 10 years old.
In particular it provided an opportunity to enjoy a family and friendly moment around the values of sport!
At the finish of the Pitch Marathoon’s, the young champions from ten or so nations - from New Zealand to the United States - were awarded real finishers medals. And since running whets the appetite, an enjoyable breakfast was served to everyone present.
This morning 3,000 runners took advantage of a rare privilege for this new edition of the Paris Breakfast Run. A five-kilometre run in the heart of the prestigious monuments and places which epitomise Paris’s history — the Carrousel du Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Pont Alexandre III, and a magnificent finish on the Champ de Mars, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.
And the Parisian-style breakfast, served at the finish facing the Eiffel Tower, gave the French, American, British, Australian, Brazilian and Mexican marathon runners an opportunity to exchange views. 70 nations were represented in total.
Tomorrow it’s the big day: the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris will be setting off at 8.06am (handisport) and 8.09 (Elite women) on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées!

Make sure your equipment is adapted to the race. N.B.: don’t run with new shoes.

2018 EDITION: REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
September 5th 2017
PARIS IS WAITING FOR YOU!
Have you ever run in the most beautiful city of the world? There will always be a bib for you to run the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris. More than the city, the race is a lifetime experience. On april 8 2018, be part of the 17,000 runners that come each year from all over the world.
The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris continues to smash its own records year after year.
43,754 runners started the race this morning in a summer-like atmosphere which promised lots of sore muscles in the final few hundred metres on the cobblestones of Avenue Foch, soon left scorching hot by the runners… as well as quite a few sunburns for the approximately 250,000 spectators lining the streets of the most beautiful city in the world.
Everything fell into place for the Kenyan couple of Paul Lonyangata and Purity Rionoripo to write a rousing love story in the most beautiful marathon in the world, winning both of today's races!
It was yet more proof —not that any was needed— that Paris is the city of love. The 2017 Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris saw a married couple claim the double for the first time in history. Paul Lonyangata and Purity Rionoripo, clad in the sunny Kenyan colours, topped two 100% Kenyan podiums.
The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris is Paul Lonyongata's third victory on the queen of distances, following his triumphs in Lisbon in 2013 and Shanghai in 2015. How about Paris? He loves the city, he knows it and he has turned it into one of his stomping grounds. Just a few weeks ago, he carved his mark on the streets of the French capital, finishing second in the Fitbit half marathon with a time of 60′40″. "This might well be my greatest victory yet, and it's also a personal record", said the 2017 winner. "I felt great, it wasn't too hot or too cold, and the organisation was perfect."
The icing on the cake came a few minutes later, when his wife claimed the women's race at an infernal pace. Purity Rionoripo even set a new Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris records of 2 h 20′55″, beating fellow Kenyans Agnes Barsosio and 2014 champion Flomena Cheyech.
37% of athletes were running their first marathon. Jean-Marc, who came from Toulouse with his running-loving wife, was one of them. The fit 40-year-old cyclo-cross aficionado clocked 3 h 17′ despite "hardly training before my first marathon. A marathon is funny, it gets tougher towards the end… Luckily enough, we'll stay here a few more days to enjoy Paris. I must admit I missed a few landmarks during the race…»
Andrea comes from Mexico. The 30-year-old took advantage of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, which she finished in 3 h 21′, to spend a fortnight in Paris for her holidays. "It was an incredible moment. Thank goodness I'm in Paris, because I'd be extremely disappointed if I only thought about my performance. But it's so beautiful I'll take home wonderful memories."

You’ve got an old pair of running shoes sitting on a shelf gathering dust.

This association has been collecting, repairing and transporting running shoes to West Africa since 2006.
When the shoes arrive there, they are then distributed to local associations which decide how best to use them, depending on the situation of the terrain and the needs of the population.
The Africa Run association’s goal is to organise a delivery at least once a year.
We are counting on you!

For several hours the most colourful streamers were visible throughout Paris. And the capital had never celebrated the marathon in a more joyful way. Maybe it was the exceptionally clement spring weather that made you courageous. Maybe it was simply due to the quality of your training sessions which prepared you for the 42.195km course.
Kenya’s Mark Korir dominated the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon in an excellent time of 02:05:49. In the women’s category, Ethiopia’s Meseret Mengistu triumphed in a time of 02:23:36. It is also worth mentioning France’s Julien Casoli, who was the winner of the disabled race.
At the finish your drained yet delighted faces expressed the delight of all the hard work accomplished, and the pride - for some of you- of becoming a member of the marathon community. “It was my first time!” gushed Caroline. “I am thrilled.” François added with a great deal of emotion in his voice: “We are very fortunate to experience these kinds of occasions.”
There were 41,342 of you!
April 12th 2015
A new participation record
A new participation record was established for the 39th edition of the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon. 41,342 runners including 18,000 international competitors represented 150 nations: congratulations to all of you who experienced an amazing day of sport and fraternity in the streets and avenues of the most beautiful city in the world.
Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, stated before the start of the race: “Congratulations to the ever-increasing number of runners who gather together at the start.” 25% of entrants this year were women. Among them was Tamara from South Africa. “I came with my husband and my children. They are waiting to cheer me on at the Place de la Bastille.” Manakhatan, from Mongolia, added: “This is my first visit to Paris. I am very excited about taking part in this marathon.”
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped you throughout the race: from entering the start areas to handing over the medals. And now it’s time to celebrate!

Tomorrow’s the big day!
And they're off! The start of the 39th Schneider Electric Paris Marathon will take place tomorrow at 8.54am on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées.
Here’s some advice before the start:
Don't doubt your ability to run the entire 42.195km. Everything you've learned during your training won't be lost in the pre-race nerves!
Stick to the race plan that you have developed throughout your training and check during the first few kilometres that you are not running too quickly.
Pay attention to your refreshments and hydrate yourself meticulously by drinking water every five kilometres. It will be relatively hot tomorrow on race day...
Soak up the festive atmosphere of this marathon in the most beautiful city in the world and really enjoy running.
Tomorrow, Paris will be at your feet. Enjoy being part of this event alongside more than 50,000 other runners.
We look forward to seeing you at the finish.
The logistics of the big day
April 10th 2015
Now it's over to you!
The big day is approaching and it’s time to check the final details for your participation in the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon.
In particular:
What you are going to wear during the race and what you are going to leave at the left luggage area (or what you will get rid of before you go into the starting area). Météo France is forecasting dry, warm weather. Take that into account!
The time it will take you to get to the Champs-Elysées using public transport (mainly Line 1 of the subway - George V or Charles-de-Gaulle-Etoile stops).
The number of effort gels you will bring. Stick to the refreshment schedule you have tested during your long training sessions. Don't change anything at the last minute...
At 8.45am on Sunday, more than 50,000 competitors will cross the start line of the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon to run 42.195km in the most beautiful city in the world.
Enjoy being one of them!
