The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris offers a unique opportunity to make the city yours by participating in one of the most prestigious races in Europe.
In this overseas challenge, you will join tens of thousands of runners, taking in the iconic sites of Paris, such as the Champs Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower.
Whether this is your first overseas marathon or you’re chasing a new personal best, Marathon de Paris offers an unforgettable running experience and a chance to make a real difference for young people facing homelessness.
Why Take Part?
At St Basils, we provide accommodation, support and guidance to around 1,000 young people every night who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. These young people are not just given a safe place to stay, but are also offered training, employment opportunities and well-being support to help them rebuild their lives and achieve lasting independence.
Every pound raised goes directly to our mission of preventing youth homelessness — and by taking part, you become a crucial part of that mission.
