Marathon at the 2024 Olympics in Paris: rules, distance, course and map of the race
The Olympic marathon is a storied event with a rich history that has become synonymous with the Olympic Games.
Ever since its debut in 1896 at the first modern Olympics in Athens, the marathon has been a key part of the schedule, with the fact that no athlete has ever won more than two medals in this race highlights its difficulty.
Scheduled for 10 August 2024 for the men’s race and 11 August 2024 for the women’s race, this 42.195km (26.2 miles) race will traverse a route that not only challenges the 160 athletes (total) but also showcases the landmarks that make Paris one of the most iconic cities in the world.
The event recognised with this year’s Olympic marathon route is a standout moment from the French Revolution: the Women’s March on Versailles, on 5 October 1789.
