Deposits are non-refundable so we highly recommend travel insurance.

Packages

We will provide guaranteed entry as part of a complete package which, at a minimum, must include a 3 night hotel stay. Considering that this event takes place in Europe, we highly recommend that you arrive earlier to avoid flight delays/cancellations and jet lag. We can add additional nights at our group rate. We are not permitted to sell entry only.

What’s Included in Your “Runner’s” Package

  • Guaranteed entry into the 2024 Schneider Electric Paris Marathon
  • 3 nights or more at the Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe
  • Finisher materials: medal, food and beverages, heat sheet
  • A clothing bag OR a voucher for the poncho on your bib number (depending on what you have chosen at your registration)

Our Group Hotel

We are staying at the luxurious Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe, an easy walk to the start and finish areas of the marathon!

After You Register

After you register on the Running Room website and pay your deposit, Dream Travel will contact you to obtain additional information like your check in and check out dates, bedding requests, etc via the email address you provided. You must ensure that your email address is correct and you are responsible for monitoring it closely as Dream Travel will contact everyone via email.

Medical Certificate

Each runner will need to have a medical certificate indicating that they are able to run.  You can download a copy of an accepted letter to take to your doctor by clicking here. This must be uploaded no later than March 15, 2024.

Cancellation Policy

As the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon does not permit refunds, cancellation or deferral unless they cancel the event, our packages are non-refundable without insurance and entries may not be deferred.  However, we do appreciate that things can happen and we will do the best to help you if you need to cancel.

If you need to cancel AND we are able to resell your entry package prior to the marathon’s registration deadline, the following fees will apply:
$100 – until December 31, 2023
$150 – Jan 1, 2024 until registration closes and assuming we can resell your package.
If you cancel after registration closes and/or we are unable to resell your package there are no refunds or deferrals.

Note that these fees are refundable if you purchase insurance and cancel for an insurable reason.

Insurance

Each year we have many people cancel due to unforeseen circumstances who did not purchase our travel insurance meaning they end up losing their package amount.  Protect yourself and your money by purchasing our Group Insurance through ManuLife.

With our insurance you will be able to cancel for insurable reasons as well as running injuries while training and we also sell a Cancel For Any Reason policy!  We offer various other insurance packages including Cancellation, Interruption, Medical and Baggage. For full details on coverage, please click here: Manulife Financial.

If you receive a message saying the site is down, please use a different web browser or platform.

Please note that the insurance coverage that you may have on your credit card will not cover you completely! We are unable to process insurance for those living in Quebec – please contact your local travel agency for coverage.

What are the minimum three nights we have to stay?
You may stay any three nights although the majority of the group will stay Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights in order to get to the expo and so that you won’t have to check out prior to running the marathon.

Average April temperatures in Paris average between +8 and +17 degrees Celsius. Perfect for running!

How do I get to the start line and back to the hotel after the marathon?
