Open until 4.30 am
Amateur runners can use the Paris marathon course
Paris is also allowing amateur runners to breathe in the Olympic spirit. On Saturday, they will have the opportunity to complete the same course hours after the men's marathon from 9.00 pm.
20,024 participants will set off on the well-lit course between the Invalides and Versailles, passing by the city's emblematic monuments.
"For the first time in history, we wanted to give spectators the opportunity to become protagonists, to run the same course and on the same day as the Olympic athletes," explained Aurelie Merle from the organizing committee. Participants must reach the finish line by 4.30 a.m. at the latest, after which the course will be prepared for the Olympic women and Austria's representative Julia Mayer.
