The unlicensed runners must present a medical certificate of fitness for the practice of running, dated less than one year before the start of the marathon.

SAS and Departure Times

During your registration, you will determine a race objective (3h, 3h15, 3h30, 3h45, 4h, 4h15, 4h30 and more). Depending on this time, you will be given a coloured bib, and you will have access to your SAS with the same colour.

Individual accident insurance is optional but strongly recommended. It is proposed to be fully covered in the event of an accident during the Paris Marathon.

This insurance guarantees coverage for the athlete in the event that an accident occurs during the Paris Marathon, whether or not it is responsible, whether or not there is a third party.

Insurance cover extends from start to finish, and all along the Paris Marathon course. They allow you to receive compensation and full coverage in the event of an accident or death during the event.
