It hadn’t really been a secret for a few weeks. The Paris 2024 marathon for all, which will take place on the same route as the Olympic marathon and on the same day as the men’s marathon, August 10, will be run at night. The departure is scheduled for 9 p.m. at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris to reach Versailles, passing by the famous Côte des Gardes, and then returning to the Esplanade des Invalides where the finish line will be installed.
« A majestic setting to heighten the emotions and the pride of taking part in an exceptional sporting epic underlines Paris 2024 in a press release. ” To ensure that this experience is really open to everyone, Paris 2024 will offer, beyond the traditional distance of 42.195 km (from 20 years old), a 10 km race accessible to as many people as possible (from 16 years old) “, continues the committee, specifying that the start of the 10 km will be from 11:30 p.m.

In our columns last Sunday, Michael Jeremiasz, quadruple medalist in wheelchair tennis, announced that he was going to participate in the marathon for all with a team formed by the five-time biathlon champion Martin Fourcade, and able-bodied and disabled runners. The organizing committee emphasizes that the 40,048 runners, equally men and women, will be ” surrounded by athletes and ambassadors of the Games, who will take their places in each starting area to encourage them, live the moment to the full with them and maintain the enthusiasm until the finish line, at Les Invalides ».
