Paris and the Île-de-France region are bursting with sporting events for walking and running enthusiasts, and 2026 is shaping up to be no different. Of course, the Paris Semi-Marathon in March and the full Marathon in April remain the most anticipated highlights for runner fans, drawing crowds every year with great enthusiasm.
Iconic and ambitious routes that require real physical feats—whether you're a beginner runner or an experienced athlete. They provide unforgettable memories alongside participants from all around the world. Beyond Paris, there are other events worth exploring, in places like Yvelines or Seine-et-Marne, featuring stunning trail runs in the heart of nature, winding through the heritage of the Île-de-France region, its forests, and castles.
Why not take advantage of these events to get back into the swing of things ? Running is accessible to everyone, with little equipment required and a multitude of places to train, in Paris parks or country lanes. Start slowly with short sessions, then gradually increase duration and intensity. Taking part in a half-marathon or marathon can become a motivating goal, so get your running shoes on and join the Paris runners!
