Registration for the 2027 Paris Half Marathon is highly anticipated. Entries are usually available several months before race day, but this year’s schedule is expected to be different due to a change of organiser.
From 2027, Amaury Sport Organisation, or ASO, will no longer be responsible for the Paris Half Marathon. As with the Paris Marathon, the organisation of the event has been awarded to the Cadence consortium for the 2027 to 2030 editions. The Half Marathon and Marathon were included in the same concession awarded by the City of Paris.
When will registration open? What will the race date be? How much will a race bib cost, and which platform will you need to use to register? Here is everything currently known.
Updated July 20, 2026: public registration for the 2027 Paris Half Marathon is not officially open yet. Registration is expected to launch in autumn 2026, but the exact date has not yet been announced.

When will registration open for the 2027 Paris Half Marathon?
No exact registration opening date has been officially announced yet.
According to information published following the award of the new concession, race bibs for the 2027 Paris Half Marathon and Paris Marathon are expected to go on sale in autumn 2026. This later-than-usual opening is linked to the change of organiser and the rollout of a new registration system.
A September 2026 opening has been widely mentioned, but it should not yet be considered an official date.
This page will be updated as soon as the date, time and registration link have been confirmed.
What is the date of the 2027 Paris Half Marathon?
The Paris Half Marathon is traditionally held in early March.
The date of Sunday, March 7, 2027 already appears on some websites offering charity race bibs or sports travel packages. However, it still needs to be confirmed directly by the new organiser.
For now, it is best to keep the following in mind:
- expected period: early March 2027;
- provisional date: Sunday, March 7, 2027;
- official confirmation: still pending.
The previous edition took place on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
Who will organise the Paris Half Marathon in 2027?
The Paris Half Marathon and Paris Marathon were part of the same tender launched by the City of Paris.
The concession to organise both races from 2027 to 2030 was awarded to the Cadence consortium, made up of Havas Events, Keneo and OSE, formerly Avena Event.
Cadence will therefore take over from ASO for both major Paris running events. This change may lead to updates to the registration platform, runner services, aid stations and certain race bib options.
The distance will naturally remain that of an official half marathon, namely 21.0975 kilometres.
Will the HOKA Semi de Paris name be retained?
The race is currently called the HOKA Semi de Paris.
At this stage, the new organiser has not clearly confirmed whether this commercial name will remain for the 2027 edition. Some pages and initiatives linked to the previous edition already use the name “HOKA Semi de Paris 2027”, but this is not enough to determine the official name of the next edition with certainty.
Pending an official announcement, several names may be used to refer to the race:
- Paris Half Marathon 2027;
- 2027 Paris Half Marathon;
- HOKA Semi de Paris 2027;
- Paris Half Marathon organised by Cadence.
In every case, this refers to Paris’s major 21.0975-kilometre race, held in early March.
How much will a race bib cost?
Prices for the 2027 Paris Half Marathon have not yet been published.
As in previous editions, prices may vary according to the purchase period and the number of places remaining. Several price tiers may be offered, with early entrants usually benefiting from the best rate.
We will need to wait for registration to open to find out:
- the price of the first batch of race bibs;
- the different pricing tiers;
- platform fees;
- options included with registration;
- the cost of any cancellation insurance;
- race bib transfer or resale terms.
For comparison, charity race bibs for the 2026 edition were offered with a reduced entry fee of €49, alongside a minimum fundraising target of €210. However, these figures do not indicate what prices will be in 2027.
Will registration still be on time to?
No. The registration platform will change because time to is ASO’s platform.
The link used for previous editions will therefore not be used for the 2027 event. The Cadence consortium will need to publish a new official address or direct participants to another registration provider.
The time to page that remains accessible relates to the previous organiser and notably displays information for the 2026 edition.
Before booking a race bib, always check that:
- the link was published by the official organiser;
- the 2027 edition is clearly stated;
- the total price is displayed before payment;
- the cancellation terms are available;
- the website includes complete legal information.
High demand for registration can lead to misleading pages and fake sales links. No unofficial website should be considered trustworthy simply because it already claims to offer race bibs.
How many runners take part in the Paris Half Marathon?
The Paris Half Marathon is one of France’s most popular road races and is presented as the world’s largest half marathon.
Recent editions have welcomed around 45,000 to 50,000 runners. The official website for the 2026 edition mentions 50,000 participants in the heart of Paris.
This level of participation explains the strong demand when registration opens. The first price tiers can sell out quickly, even when all race bibs do not sell out immediately.
Is the 2027 Paris Half Marathon course known?
The official course for the 2027 edition has not yet been published.
The route may evolve with the change of organiser. For the 2026 edition, the start was on Boulevard Saint-Germain and the finish was at Place de la Bastille. The course mainly ran through eastern Paris and included a section in the Bois de Vincennes.
Cadence may retain the main features of the current route or introduce several adjustments. The final course will need to be measured and officially certified to meet the regulation distance.
The following details therefore remain to be confirmed:
- the exact start location;
- the finish location;
- the streets used by the route;
- the start times for the different corrals;
- aid station locations;
- the race time limit.
What changes are possible in 2027?
The project selected by the City of Paris includes several commitments shared by the Half Marathon and Marathon.
Cadence aims in particular to reduce waste, eliminate single-use plastic, prioritise aid stations without individual packaging and develop measures that make the race more accessible.
Some arrangements could therefore change as early as 2027:
- using a soft flask, collapsible cup or personal water bottle;
- redesigned aid stations;
- an optional event T-shirt;
- the option to decline certain post-race items;
- adjusted prices for certain groups;
- an increased focus on charity race bibs.
The exact rules will need to be included in the official 2027 Paris Half Marathon regulations. They should not be considered final before publication.
How can you prepare for registration opening?
To secure a race bib at the best price, it is advisable to prepare the following in advance:
- your personal details;
- an email address you can access;
- a valid payment method;
- your estimated half marathon finish time;
- your preferred starting corral;
- your running club details, where applicable.
The change of organiser may require you to create a new account. Login details used on time to may not allow you to access the future platform.
You will also need to check the medical requirements that apply in 2027, particularly the rules regarding the Health Prevention Pathway or sports licences.
