Pro tips

  1. 01

    Flat, Even Effort

    The course is flat with only 80 m of total climb, so run it at a steady effort from the gun instead of banking energy for a climb that never really comes.

    From the elevation profile

  2. 02

    Cool 09:30 Start

    Race-day temperature is typically 9C at a 09:30 start, so dress for a cold wait in the corral and a cool run rather than a warm one.

    From the start time

  3. 03

    Loop Course, One Base

    This is a loop, so you start and finish in the same place near the Bois de Vincennes. Leave your bag and arrange your meeting point there instead of planning a trip across town afterward.

  4. 04

    Settle Before the Seine

    More than 40,000 runners share the course, so expect a crowded opening kilometer in the Bois de Vincennes and use the park roads to find your rhythm before the riverside stretch past Notre-Dame.
