Frequently asked questions
Do you have a question about the event? We’ve got you covered.
The 26.2 mile route starts on the Champs-Élysées, in front of the Arc de Triomphe, then heads towards the Place de la Concorde. After passing the Rue de Rivoli, you’ll see the Notre Dame, before the Eiffel Tower signals you're nearing the finish.
Vests are sent approximately 4-6 weeks before race day. Once you have a place confirmed and let us know what size vest you need, our team will arrange to post it to you.
If you take one of our charity places, we ask that you raise a minimum of £500. If you have your own place and run for us, you can set your own target. We will be here to support you and provide lots of inspiration to help you hit your target.
