Marathon de Paris 2026

After six or seven Paris marathons, this is the first year I've seen such a vibrant atmosphere in the streets of the capital. It's absolutely electric on certain sections. Fans are everywhere, filling the avenues and barely leaving room for the runners, like the Tour de France cyclists on the mountain passes. ASO, of course! :) This was my first time running the Paris marathon with Meli, my eldest daughter. We arrived from the USA the day before, still jet-lagged... I managed a decent half marathon, but after that it got tougher. No big deal, the important thing is that we fully enjoyed this fantastic first part of the course.
