Recurring Half Marathon races near Paris
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Foulée Suresnoise
Foulée Suresnoise takes over the streets of Suresnes for a two-day weekend in early October, offering races for adults and children instead of a single start time. The schedule includes a half marathon and 10 km, a 5 km, and children’s races of 3 km, 1.5 km, and 750 m.
The shorter races and children’s events are held on Saturday afternoon. The half marathon and 10 km start on Sunday morning from 8:30. The event, now in its fiftieth edition, maintains a family atmosphere alongside competitive racing, and adds to the course atmosphere with four fanfares throughout the day.
La TVTC, "Tu viens tu cours"
The TVTC, short for "Tu viens tu cours" or "You come, you run", is a trail event held in Villiers-Saint-Frédéric, located in the Yvelines area west of Paris. It takes place in early October and offers adults three main choices: a 7 km Nordic walk, a 10 km trail run, and a 21 km trail run.
The routes wind through a natural forest setting, making it an off-road excursion rather than a city race. The 10 km course is designed for runners seeking a demanding yet achievable challenge, while the 21 km is suited for more seasoned trail runners. Separate courses are available for children and juniors, extending the day's activities beyond the adult competitions.
La Villepreusienne
La Villepreusienne is a night race series held at V Park in Villepreux, a town in the Yvelines located 20 km west of Paris. This location provides a distinct character: Villepreux lies in the direct line extending from the gardens of Versailles. Thus, the event connects a small-town starting point with the open plain beyond the palace grounds. It provides four race choices, with distances and formats designed for runners and walkers of various skill levels.
The 5 km Urban Trail takes place in the town center, suitable for those seeking a short, brisk run with an urban atmosphere. The 10 km nature route follows a manageable loop across the Versailles plain, and the 10 km walk offers participants the same opportunity to explore without the competitive aspect. The 21 km trail is the more demanding option, intended for more experienced runners desiring a longer night race near Paris.
Semi de la juine
Semi de la Juine is a road race held in Saclas, a small commune in Essonne, south of Paris in the Île-de-France region. The next edition is scheduled for early October, offering three main distances: 6 km, 11.5 km, and 21 km. The event is named after the Juine river, not the month of June, and also features races for children and juniors.
The course incorporates town streets, forest paths, and open fields, providing variety beyond a simple city circuit. The race is associated with nearby Essonne communes like Guillerval, Méréville, and Saint-Cyr-la-Rivière, suggesting a local countryside feel for participants from the surrounding villages and from Paris. A runner's comment in French, “C’est la classe !”, is also featured.
Transquar de Beauvais
The Transquar de Beauvais begins at the Hotel de Ville in Beauvais, located in the Oise department of Hauts-de-France. This event incorporates road running and Nordic walking within the city center. The program includes 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon distances, along with Transkids for children. Consequently, participants range from families and walkers to runners competing in the full 21.1 km. It typically occurs near the year's end, with the next edition scheduled for early October. The event has been organized annually since 2012.
The routes wind through Beauvais, utilizing city streets and public green areas like Parc Kennedy and Square Jules Briere. Participants will run along sections near the Therain, the Avelon, and the Saint-Quentin river. The half marathon route includes three challenging hills. The course highlights local landmarks through ground markings, such as the 15th-century Tour Saint-Lucien and Saint-Pierre-de-Beauvais Cathedral, constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries. The finish line is situated before the Jeanne Hachette statue and its mirror fountains. Many participants remain afterward to view the cathedral's stained glass, astronomical clock, and 14th-century medieval clock, or to sample local specialties such as ficelle picarde and flamiche aux poireaux.
La Domaniale de Saint- Cloud - 12km 2026
Trail La Domaniale takes place in Saint-Cloud, west of Paris, within the national forest of Saint-Cloud in early October. Runners can choose between 12 km and 21 km distances, or an 8 km Nordic walk in the same setting. The 21 km route includes 340 meters of elevation gain, the 12 km has 200 meters, and the 8 km walk has 130 meters, meaning even the shortest option involves climbing.
The event, organized by volunteers from UAS Saint-Cloud, limits participation to 450 bibs for the 21 km, 350 for the 12 km, and 200 for the walk. The course winds through forest, nature, and the edges of town, avoiding remote mountain terrain. La Domaniale also benefits Fondation Arthritis, donating 1 euro from each bib, a portion of profits, and offering an additional donation option during registration.
La Spinassienne
La Spinassienne takes runners through Épinay-sur-Seine, north of Paris, featuring a half marathon of just over 21 km as its primary event. The program also offers a 10 km race for participants aged 16 and up, and a 3.8 km race open to those 14 and older. Starts are staggered throughout the morning; the 10 km begins at Espace Lumière, with the shorter race commencing shortly thereafter.
The course follows city streets and extends along the Seine's banks, presenting an urban river run rather than a rural excursion. Certified by the French Athletics Federation, the race provides pacers for the 10 km and half marathon, along with aid stations offering water, sponges, and fruit. Prior to each start, participants can engage in a music-led group warm-up at the municipal sports park. One euro from each bib benefits Les Restos du Coeur, and prize money is awarded to the top five men and women in the half marathon.
Semi-marathon la spinassienne - Épinay-sur-Seine
La Spinassienne is a race day in Épinay-sur-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, featuring a half marathon as its main event, complemented by shorter options. The program lists a 21 km race, a 10 km race, a 3.8 km race, and children’s races of 400 m, 600 m, and 1,000 m. The half marathon begins in the morning, followed by the 10 km starting from the Espace Lumière. This event is organized by the Club Sportif Multi sections d’Épinay-sur-Seine and the town hall, and it holds Fédération Française d’Athlétisme certification.
The course guides runners through Épinay-sur-Seine and along the Seine riverbanks, with sections also taking place in the Parc Municipal des Sports. It accommodates club runners aiming for fast times and local amateurs preferring a shorter distance, while children compete in their own events. The race, which had a hiatus for several years, was revived in 2018. Awards are structured to maintain competition: prizes for the top five men and women in the half marathon, cups for the top three men and women in the 10 km and 3.8 km, and medals for young participants.
Ronde du lac
La Cavale des Écureuils
La Cavale des Écureuils is a trail race in Villers-en-Arthies, a village in Val-d'Oise in the Île-de-France region of France. It is an autumn event, with main race options around 10 km and 21 km, and some listings giving the full range as 5 to 22 km. The name means “The Squirrels’ Gallop,” and the race uses the phrase “a tree-to-tree race.”
The route is within the Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin, a 71,000-hectare protected area north-west of Paris with marshes, forests, fields, and marked hiking paths. Runners choose this event for a nature-focused trail day instead of a city road race, and walkers participate as well. The race supports a charitable cause, uses CHRONO33 timing, and offers live GPS tracking via an app and fan zone.
Les Foulées Sarmates
Les Foulées Sarmates offers three nature runs in Sermaise: 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km. It is designed as a local race day where beginners, casual runners, and stronger trail runners can select a suitable distance. The draw is straightforward: a proper dose of countryside running close to the village.
The routes traverse the natural landscape around Sermaise, including forest tracks, quiet paths, the Orge valley, rivers, open plains, hamlets, ponds, and local historical monuments. Water features and cultural stops add variety beyond a simple road loop. The event also supports a charitable cause, allowing runners to contribute to something beyond their own finish time.

About Half Marathon races in Paris
Paris Training Notes
Paris hosts 49 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the Seine early, from Notre Dame through Ile de la Cite, past the Louvre and Jardin de Tuileries, out to Jardins du Trocadero, then back on the Left Bank. Bois de Boulogne gives you base miles, and its trails cover 56 km for running and bikes. Jardin des Tuileries gives you a tidy 2.6-kilometer loop between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Parc Monceau still feels like a local lap. AUP Running Club, Paname Run Club, Paris Running Club, and Mikkeller Running Club Paris keep the week moving. The 20 km de Paris and Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris are the big anchor events.
Paris has improved immeasurably for cyclists, and the Seine riverfront now feels like the obvious Z2 line through town. The route is 6 km and gains 81 m. The climb to Montmartre is 4 km and climbs 303 m. Meudon Forest gives off-road tracks west of the centre. Paris Cycling Group runs 70 to 200 km road rides, and Le Peloton community keeps 40 to 100 km group rides social. Montmartre gives the city hill, while Chevreuse brings the real climbing.
Spring and autumn are the best training blocks because the days stay mild and the nights stay cool. Summer gives long light and warm rides, with average highs around 19°C and about 8 hours of sunshine per day. Heatwave weeks can push sessions early, so locals move intervals to the morning and keep Z2 on the Seine or in Bois de Boulogne. Winter brings cool days, nights around 3°C, light frosts, and the occasional flurry, so runners keep park loops steady and cyclists lean on flatter lanes before bigger weekend rides.
