With around 43,000 runners from 149 nationalities and an estimated 250,000 spectators, don’t miss your chance to be a part this spectacular event.
Judy Wolff from Marathon World Travel has participated in the Paris Marathon. Make the most of her first-hand experience and knowledge.
Read what our clients are saying: I completed the Paris Marathon in April with Marathon World Travel . Hard to believe I can run a marathon let alone through the gorgeous streets of Paris. It was magic. Paris is a beautiful iconic city, and the architecture is truly a feast for the eyes. Arriving a few days before the event gave me the chance to get my bearings and soak up some sightseeing “must do’s” before pounding the streets with the nervously excited Kiwi contingent . Meeting the other Kiwis taking part creates for great camaraderie and makes the whole trip extra special.There is nothing like the thrill of running in a famous city with 54,000 other runners from all over the world; there is just a sea of runners as far as the eye can see. And the atmosphere just carries you along. The highlights were running along the Seine past the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower to the shouts of “Allez Allez” and “Bravo” from locals and tourists alike, crowding the streets to support us. I will definitely do another marathon with Marathon World Travel. Judy and her team take the hassle out of all the preparations, guarantee you an entry into the marathon of your choice, and are fun to be with. - Pauline Wrigley. Thanks for everything! We loved Paris, the marathon, the hotel (rooms were fantastic – very clean, nice to be close to start/finish; to have views over Paris, to have a bath in the room for after the race, a supermarket in the shops below; could not have been any better) Paris is such a wonderful city. We want to go back! Jane. |
