Hotels-Paris.co.uk - Lace Up for the Paris Half Marathon

    PARIS, FRANCE, January 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Paris Half Marathon is coming up in March and is sure to attract plenty of running enthusiasts to the French capital.

While a full marathon may be a little too much for some people, a half marathon is seen as a more manageable - and often enjoyable - experience for individuals who want to prove or improve their fitness.

With the Paris Half Marathon due to take place on March 6th 2011, there is still time to book a stay in the hotels Paris has available and do sufficient training to manage the challenge.

According to the race's official website, the first wave of athletes will set off at 10:00 local time on the day.

The 21.1-kilometre route starts and finishes at the Esplanade du Chateau de Vincennes and will allow participants to do some sightseeing in a new way.

If guests at accommodation such as the Hotel Montpellier Paris do not fancy putting on running shorts and taking on the challenge this year, they could cheer on those who have signed up for the race.

The record time for the Paris Half Marathon is held by Kenyan runner Joseph Maregu, who finished in one hour and 26 seconds in 2007.

Entry fees for taking part in the race range between EUR30 and EUR45 (GBP25.80 and GBP38.70).

For more information on this event, visit the Paris Half Marathon website.

Hotels-Paris.co.uk offers a wide variety of accommodation in Paris, such as the Pavillon Villiers Etoile Hotel Paris.
