The Paris marathon, currently known under sponsorship as the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon, or Marathon de Paris for the locals, is the first of the marathon majors to take place each year, bringing a selection of the top athletes from around the world to enjoy one of the most visually arresting marathon courses you will find anywhere. Fun fact, completely unrelated, I went to Paris on a school trip, many, many years ago, when I got back, I told my grandad that I had walked along the Seine and took a boat trip on the Champs Elysees (I think he knew then my geography skills needed attention).
The Paris marathon gets underway in just about the most spectacular way imaginable by running down the spectacular Champs Elysees, with the Arc de Triomphe at your back, making this a landmark marathon event that draws participants from far and wide to make up a field of over 55,000 athletes and fun runners alike.
After the start, the landmarks just keep coming, you can see the Eiffel Tower of course, then will get to run by the Bastille, the Place de la Concorde, Chateau de Vincennes, Musee d-Orsay, the Pompidou Centre and of course the Cathedral at Notre Dame.

TV & Live Streaming
We've been able to find excellent live streaming coverage of the marathon for the last few years, so shouldn't have any problems bringing you a live stream from wherever you are. We'll post the links right here.
This year we are hoping that there is once again live online coverage provided by the excellent Watch Athletics:
Television coverage in France is typically provided by TV channel France 3, which you can watch live online here:
You can also keep track of your favourite runners through the app - Marathon de Paris
You might also catch some coverage on Eurosport
An alternative way of viewing the marathon that I'm a big fan of is to check out some of the local webcams - there are a range of them in key locations around Paris, with one on the Champs Elysees in a particularly good vantage point:
