← Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris
My first marathon and a very special occasion and city to run in. You have to register at the expo, I'm not a fan of doing this. It's out of town and with a wife and small baby travelling with me, it's not ideal. However, the expo was good.
Everything on race day was easy, the route is phenomenal, passing all the main tourist atractions in Paris. Local support is ok, could be better. Aid stations are great - water and fruit.
On the finishing line there was loads of fruit and protein bars to eat, great medal and tee.
42,000 finished the race, making it bigger than London. The overall atmpshpere and organisations was superb. This should be on the list for all runners. Iconic city and easy to get to from the UK.
I finished in 3:20:10 and was very proud!
