Does anyone know when/if these races will return?

Certainly not this year with the Olympics being in Paris. Traditionally the races were held in September, but they haven’t held races since before 2020. I heard they completely disbanded their RunDisney team, so prospects of a race weekend are slim. I wanted to get the Castle to Chateau challenge medal, which is one of the best-designed medals ever.

I have no expectation that they'll come back, this is the third year that it's been in the realm of possibility, they've been asked about it repeatedly, and it just hasn't happened. Definitely too late for 2024. My only optimistic theory is that maybe they stopped due to ongoing construction and maybe they could bring it back afterwards but I don't think it's something to get your hopes up about.

Yes, sadly I don't see them coming back if they haven't by now. I'm so very grateful I took the chance and did them in 2017. The Castle to Chateau medal is still my all time favorite, and the Half course is also my favorite HM course ever. The expo was a bit of a cluster, but worth dealing with for the experience!

I’m crossing my fingers for 2026. I did the inaugural half, which was also my first half marathon. I’d love to do a 10yr anniversary trip and get the castle to chateaux medal

Count me in the camp who would love the Castle to Chateau medal if Paris came back.
