The inaugural Paris 2024 Marathon for All is scheduled for the evening of August 10, 2023, just after the men’s Olympic marathon which will be commencing earlier that day. This unusual event, which begins at 9 PM at the Hotel de Ville and ends in Les Invalides, is the first public race to be held during an Olympic or Paralympic Games. Starting at 11:30 PM, participants can pick between two distances: a full marathon for those who are 20 years of age or older, or a 10-kilometer race for those who are 16 years of age or younger. The objective is to include and bring together as many people as possible, with a big finale held at the Esplanade des Invalides.
The Paris 2024 Olympics organizers describe the event as “a majestic setting to heighten the emotions and pride of taking part in an exceptional sporting epic,” with 35,000 participant bibs offered. The Paris 2024 Club, the Marathon pour Tous app, and the @teamorangerunning Instagram account are the places to get these bibs. A sneak peek at the marathon experience will also be offered when 1,000 bibs are given out on June 17 during the Orange relay race.

The Marathon for All consists of marathon and 10-kilometer routes both start and end at the square in front of Paris City Hall and go through Les Invalides. Boulogne-Billancourt, Sèvres, Ville d’Avray, Versailles, Viroflay, Chaville, and Meudon are just a few of the places that the course passes through before continuing along the Seine at Issy-Les-Moulineaux to arrive at Invalides. The participants can anticipate an ancient path that highlights the most well-known structures in the Paris region. The next day is the day of the Olympic marathon for women. The Marathon for All will have a field of 40,048 participants, equally divided between men and women. Athletes and ambassadors of the Games will be present at each starting area to motivate participants, share in the experience, and maintain enthusiasm until they cross the finish line at the Invalides.
The Paris 2024 Olympics will be taking place from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The host city of the Olympics is France, while the competition will be conducted in 16 cities in France. Tahiti, which is an island in French Polynesia, will also be hosting the event during the Paris 2024 Olympics. A total of 329 sports in 48 sports disciplines (32 sports) will be held during the Olympic Games which is hosted by the French capital. France received the hosting rights for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics after the International Olympic Committee elected the 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games host city in 2017. This proposal was approved on July 11, 2017, in Lausanne, Switzerland.
