Your booking details (dates of stay, hotel name and address, package type) will be listed on your invoice that we send out. When you receive it, please let us know if there are any errors.
HOTEL CHANGES/DATES OF STAY CHANGES
To ensure you don’t have to move rooms or hotels, please request your additional nights as soon as possible. The group hotel has limited space as it’s a boutique hotel and rates will increase as time goes on!
RACE BIB COLLECTION
Each runner must pick up their own bib at the race expo and need to show either their driver’s license or their passport along with their QR code.
There is no race day bib collection.

You will receive this from the Paris Marathon roughly 5 days prior to the event.

SIX STAR PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS WITH ABBOTT WORLD MARATHON MAJORS

DREAM TRAVEL REPS
Dream Travel will be onsite all weekend long.
EMERGENCY CONTACT
We will add an emergency cell number one week prior to the marathon. This is ONLY for emergency contact.
Offline Maps
Consider downloading an offline map of Paris and area (to the airport) so that you are able to search for directions upon arrival, even if you don’t have WiFi. Services like Google Maps works well for offline maps.
Getting to the Hotel Splendid Etoile from CDG Paris Airport
You may take a taxi or Uber to get to the hotel which will take between 40 and 60 minutes normally and depending on traffic. Or, you can take public transportation which will be less expensive, but could take between 40 and 90 minutes.
For up-to-date times and information, please use your online map app upon arrival.
The Group Hotel
Hotel Splendid Etoile. Our hotel is located just 200 meters from the Arc de Triomphe and about 250 meters to the entrance to the race start corrals.
Checking in to Your Hotel
As this is a group booking, no booking number/reference is required. Simply check in by name, with ID and with a credit card for incidentals.
WAVE STARTS
There will be different waves to alleviate the strain of having everyone start at the same time. The first wave starts at 8AM and the last wave starts at 11:10AM.
You will each be assigned a Wave Start based on your estimated completion time and the marathon will email you your information closer to the race date.
