Schneider Electric Paris Marathon 2026

Join #TeamMRF and take part in the Paris Marathon, racing for a world free from meningitis.

Why join #TeamMRF for the Paris Marathon?

The Paris Marathon combines personal challenge with the chance to discover one of the world’s great cities. You will pound the pavements of the French capital’s most famous avenues and plazas.

Starting at the Arc de Triomphe, you will sweep through the Opéra Garnier and Place de la Bastille. After a glimpse of greenery in the Bois de Vincennes, the Notre Dame and Eiffel Tower will lead you to the finish.

By taking part in the Paris Marathon for Meningitis Research Foundation, you will not just be racing to the finish line – you will be racing to defeat meningitis.
