Every year in Apr, 35,000 runners crowd the streets of Paris in the once a year Paris global Marathon. This event, in the shape that it would seem in today, has been taking place ever since 1977, and the next time is on sunday, April 11, 2010.
The first time a marathon was run in Paris was as early as 1896 over the at that time official distance of 40 km. Present day’s Paris Marathon is restricted to 37,000 entrants, and the maximum is reached nearly every year - usually as early as half a year before marathon day. But it’s not enough to send your registration off in time. Before your entrance is submitted, you need a medical certificate affirming your physical fitness.
Throughout the marathon runners get a good view of the magnificent town and some of its famous sights. The course starts out straight in front of the Triumphal Arch and continues down the champions Elyses. The route passes through two Parisian woods and past lovely landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre lady Cathedral and Place de la Bastille. A huge part of the course runs along the banks of the quietly flowing Seine river providing pleasing views and ensuring flat streets at the same time. The wide avenues at the start forestall overcrowding, and the overall flatness of the course makes it fairly fast. PB setting is certainly an option. To follow this event, you can take an appartement montmartre
If the consequential town, the famous sites and the peaceful, shady parks dont quite do it for you, you can count on the 250,000 onlookers and the 70 music scenes to keep you going. And if that isnt enough, you can always look forward to the red wine and cheese served at the 35th km. Apparently, the organisers want you to be absolutely sure that youare in France.
If a 42 km jog on the Parisian asphalt doesn’t sound like your favourite pastime but you desire achance to run this stunning town and experience the serious atmosphere of a marathon, you can do the 5.2 km Breakfast Race on race day. Or, if you are really tough use the race as a warm-up for the marathon. The Breakfast Race course will take you past the Eiffel Tower, the majestic Trocadro and nearly up to the Triumphal Arch. Thereis also the possibility of a half marathon, if you plan your trip to Paris in March. The [*FR1] marathon shares most of its course with the full marathon. So take a location appartement montmartre
