The American Lung Association is proud to announce an opportunity for passionate runners to make an impact on lung health and clean air. With only a few bibs remaining, dedicated athletes are invited to represent the Lung Association in the 2025 Paris Marathon on Sunday, April 13.
Following a successful debut in the international endurance arena at the Berlin Marathon in 2024, the American Lung Association is expanding its global reach this year with exclusive entries for the Paris, Sydney and Berlin Marathons. The current focus is recruiting runners for the Paris Marathon, which promises to be an unforgettable journey through one of the world’s most iconic cities.
Key Benefits for Runners Include:
- Reduced Fundraising Commitment: The Paris Marathon features the lowest fundraising minimum of any race in our international program, ensuring accessibility for more participants.
- Exclusive Resources: Participants will have access to a specialized toolkit to streamline fundraising efforts.
- Unforgettable Experience: Engage in a world-class endurance event while exploring the historic beauty and culture of Paris.
This opportunity is ideal for experienced endurance runners and those passionate about running tourism who are seeking a meaningful way to combine athletic achievement with global advocacy.
Money raised through the Paris Marathon team supports the work of the Lung Association to end lung cancer, champion clean air, reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families, and create a tobacco-free future.
