Paris Marathon

The 34rd edition of the Paris Marathon will be held this year. On Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 8:45 AM, runners will line up on the Avenue des Champs Elyseés to cover the 42 km route through the heart of the most romantic city in Europe.

The French capital will host 37,000 runners. The race route crosses the entire city, passing the most beautiful parts. From the Bastille, runners will pass by Nation, les Tuileries and the Seine, crossing Paris from one end to the other, from the Bois de Boulogne to the Bois de Vincennes, to the exciting finish line under the Arch of Triumph.

Each year the marathon attracts more international runners, almost one-third of all participants, and especially spectators who come from all over the world to attend this spectacular race, accompanied by the performances of 70 musical groups. The twenty year old Ethiopian Tsegaye Kebede won the past edition, finishing in 2h and 6' while the Kenyan Martha Komu, with an excellent time of 2.25.33, lowered her personal record by 7 minutes.

Various starting categories are included based on the goals set by each participant, indicated by different colored balloons. This will give amateurs the chance to run with, or better, behind the champions of this specialty. An increase in spectators and supporters from all over the world to encourage the runners from over 90 countries is expected this year
