🏃♀️💨 Ready, set, *histoire*! This Saturday, Paris turns the Olympic marathon routes into a global party with its groundbreaking 'Marathon Pour Tous' (Marathon for All). Over 40,000 amateur runners will sprint, jog, or TikTok-dance their way along the same paths Olympians will tackle next year—making it the largest public participation event in Games history!
From the Grand Palais to the Eiffel Tower, the 42km and 10km routes aren’t just a test of endurance—they’re a tribute to the 1789 Women’s March on Versailles. Imagine racing past Parisian icons while channeling revolutionary energy! 🗼⚡
\"We wanted spectators to become *heroes*,\" said Aurélie Merle, Paris 2024’s Sport Competitions Director. \"For the first time ever, non-athletes can literally walk (or run) a mile in Olympians’ shoes 🏃♀️💨.\"
This isn’t just a race—it’s a vibe. With 20,024 runners per course (yes, that’s a nod to the 2024 Games!), Paris is proving the Olympics can be *for everyone*. Grab your sneakers—or just cheer from your couch! 📱✨
