When is the 2027 Paris Marathon?
The 2027 Paris Marathon will take place on Sunday, April 4, 2027.
This edition will be a special one, as it will be the 50th edition of the Paris Marathon. The race will keep its official distance of 42.195 km.
The start, finish and detailed access arrangements will be announced later by the organiser.
How to register for the 2027 Paris Marathon
The registration system is changing for the 2027 edition.
You no longer need to log on to a platform and try to buy a race bib directly. For the general public, you must first enter a ballot.
Ballot entries are open:
- from September 8, 2026 at 2:00 pm
- to September 30, 2026 at 11:59 pm.
Entering the ballot is free. No payment or bank details are required at this stage.
The day and time you enter have no impact on your chances of being selected, so there is no need to rush on the first day.
Please note: entering the ballot does not guarantee a race bib.
Results will be announced from October 1, 2026.
Selected runners will then have 72 hours to confirm their registration and pay for their race bib.
Where can I enter the ballot?
Registration is done online via the official platform, accessible from the ASICS Marathon de Paris website.
To avoid fake websites and scams, always use the links available on the race’s official website.
How does the ballot work?
The process is fairly simple:
1. You enter the ballot
You fill in your details on the official platform during the entry period.
2. Your entry is automatically taken into account
No further action is required once your entry has been confirmed.
3. You find out the result
The first results will be announced from October 1, 2026.
4. You confirm your race bib
If you are selected, you have 72 hours to complete your registration and pay for your race bib.
If race bibs are still available after the first draws, additional draws may be held. A waiting list is also planned for the general public.
Can I enter as a team?
Yes! The ASICS Marathon de Paris offers team ballot entries for groups of 2 to 6 people.
The principle is simple: if one team member is drawn, the whole team is selected.
Entering as a team does not mean you have to run together on race day. Each participant can run their marathon at their own pace and according to their own goal.
How much does a 2027 Paris Marathon race bib cost?
The general public entry fee for the 2027 Paris Marathon is €169 (VAT included).
Unlike previous editions, the general public price does not depend on when you enter the ballot.
Holders of a 2026-2027 FFA (French Athletics Federation) licence benefit from a specific price of €160.55, i.e. a 5% discount.
| Race bib type | Price |
|---|---|
| General public | €169 |
| 2026-2027 FFA licence holder | €160.55 |
| Passerelle race bib | €50 |
Payment is only required after the ballot, if you are selected and decide to confirm your participation.
What is the €50 Passerelle race bib?
For the 2027 edition, Passerelle race bibs are available at €50, subject to eligibility criteria and within the limit of available places.
This scheme is aimed in particular at people in precarious situations or who face difficulties accessing sport.
To be eligible, you must be able to provide proof of your situation when entering the ballot.
The precise conditions and required documents are detailed in the official ballot rules.
What is a Dossard Engagé (charity race bib)?
There is another way to take part in the ASICS Marathon de Paris: the Dossard Engagé, or charity race bib.
The principle is to choose a partner charity and set up a fundraising campaign. The race bib is then allocated once the fundraising target has been reached.
It is therefore an alternative to the ballot for runners who want to link their marathon to a charitable cause.
What will the 2027 Paris Marathon course be?
For now, the 2027 Paris Marathon course has not yet been revealed.
The organiser says it will be announced at a later date.
You will therefore have to wait for the official route to be published to find out exactly which streets, landmarks and neighbourhoods will be covered, as well as the start and finish locations.
The course will be added to this article as soon as it is officially published.
In the meantime, runners can already start preparing based on the 42.195 km marathon distance.
Why is the Paris Marathon changing organiser?
From 2027, the Paris Marathon and Paris Half Marathon will have a new organiser.
The City of Paris has awarded the operating contract for the 2027 to 2030 editions to the Cadence consortium, made up of Havas Events, Keneo and Avena Event.
ASO, which organised the Paris Marathon up to and including the 2026 edition, will therefore no longer be in charge from 2027.
The change follows a new contract awarded at the end of a competitive tender process run by the City of Paris.
The 2027 edition is now organised by Cadence Running United.
Why is the Paris Marathon becoming the ASICS Marathon de Paris?
Another major change in 2027: the Paris Marathon is changing its name.
The event becomes the ASICS Marathon de Paris, with ASICS as its new title partner.
The race obviously keeps its 42.195 km distance and its identity as the Paris Marathon. This new naming comes with the new era that begins with Cadence taking over as organiser.
What changes are planned for the 2027 edition?
The change of organiser comes with a new approach to the event.
Some details will be announced in the coming months, including the course, the start, the finish and the practical arrangements for race day.
An anniversary edition
The 2027 Paris Marathon will be the 50th edition of the race.
The race will therefore have a special dimension, with an anniversary edition scheduled for April 4, 2027.
An event still committed to the environment
Reducing waste and single-use plastic is already one of the major developments at the Paris Marathon.
The City of Paris had already announced in 2026 the end of single-use containers at the Paris Marathon, with a system relying in particular on runners using their own containers.
For 2027, the exact aid station and hydration arrangements should be checked in the official information published by the organiser.
The T-shirt and the medal
Several aspects of the runner experience and race kit may also change with the new organiser.
To avoid any confusion with previous editions, the final conditions regarding the T-shirt, the medal, aid stations and runner services should be checked in the official information for the 2027 edition.
