Paris Marathon 2026
Join #TeamChildline for the Paris Marathon taking place on Sunday, 12th April 2026!
This is your chance to take part in one of the most iconic marathons in the world – running 42.195km through the heart of Paris, past stunning landmarks and beautiful streets, all while supporting children and families across Ireland.
We’re so proud to be part of this magical event, and we’d love to have you on the team. Whether it’s your first marathon or your tenth, this is an experience you’ll never forget.
By running with us, you’ll be helping Childline continue to be there for every child who needs someone to listen. Your steps will make a real difference.
A few things to know before you sign up:
- You must be 18 or over to take part.
- Places are limited, so don’t wait too long to apply.
- We ask each runner to raise €2,500, which includes a €300 non-refundable deposit to secure your place.
- Flights and accommodation are not included — you’ll need to organise those yourself. The official marathon website has some helpful travel packages and suggestions: Paris Marathon Travel Info
