In Paris’s ‘Marathon for All,’ you didn’t have to be an Olympian

More than 20,000 runners took to the Olympic marathon course Saturday night in, as one called it, “the best idea.”

Looks like you needed to pre-register, submit a medical certificate, and bring an ID. Haven’t figured out the actual criteria to pre-register.

Marathon pour tous

Official website of The Marathon Pour Tous. An event organized by Paris 2024, on Saturday, August 10, 2024. Find here all the practical information and news.

The #MarathonPourTous participants’ guide has some unexpectedly cool stuff around #sustainability

It has ideas on how to incorporate more local produce into your training diet (apricots, tomatoes, bell peppers) and avoid single use plastics.

They took their own advice too! The hydration stations eschewed plastic water bottles for reusable cups. Food stations provided “off-caliber” (not pretty enough to sell) fruit that would otherwise be wasted.
