Run the Iconic Paris Half Marathon – The Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris.
The Paris Half Marathon, officially called the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris, is one of Europe’s most scenic and popular races. It features a flat, fast course that’s perfect for runners of all levels. Along the way, you’ll pass some of the most iconic landmarks in Paris.
The race begins at the historic Place de la Bastille. It’s a great spot for pre-race photos and has an energetic start line atmosphere. From there, you’ll run through the heart of Paris, passing sights like the Rue de Rivoli, Hôtel de Ville, and the banks of the River Seine.
The route also takes you through the peaceful Vincennes Forest and across the impressive Tolbiac Bridge. A unique mix of city landmarks and natural beauty.
You’ll finish where you started—at the Place de la Bastille. It’s a full-circle moment in one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
Each year, over 40,000 runners take part, including more than 7,000 international participants. The race has an electric atmosphere, with live music and cheering crowds along the course. Elite runners from Kenya and Ethiopia often compete, aiming to break records and inspire others.
