The Paris Olympics have unveiled the 2024 marathon route through the City of Lights. And since it runs through Paris it looks absolutely stunning. Runners will race past the Opera House, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and more.
Here's a quick run-through of the 42.2:
The men's marathon is scheduled for August 10, with the women running the next day.
Oh, and you can run it too.
You don't need to qualify for the Olympic marathon to run the route. The "Paris 2024 Mass Participation Marathon" and 10k will be held before the Olympic event, in which 20,024 amateur athletes will get to run the same full or partial course as the Olympic runners.
Full details on the Mass Event races and on how to win a spot in 2024 are available here.
