Hoka Semi de Paris 2027

The Hoka Semi de Paris begins on Boulevard Saint-Germain near Pont de Sully, sending close to 50,000 participants through eastern Paris every March. This 21.1 km road half marathon, described in its race guide as the world's largest half marathon, features wave starts from early morning and a 2 hour 50 minute time limit. The route is very flat, with only 66 metres of total elevation gain, making it suitable for both first-time half marathoners and runners aiming for a fast time. The course goes by old Paris landmarks, circles through the Bois de Vincennes, and concludes at Place de la Bastille, a well-known French square. Amaury Sport Organisation manages the event, and participants can access official preparation sessions and nutrition advice prior to race day.
