== History ==

=== Tour de Paris era ===
The first Paris Marathon, the Tour de Paris Marathon, took place in 1896.  A big crowd gathered to watch 191 participants. It was run over a course of {{cvt|40|km|mi}} from Paris to [[Conflans-Sainte-Honorine]] via [[Versailles (city)|Versailles]], and the organisers decided to award a commemorative medal to all runners who finished the race in less than 4 hours.

The distance of 40&nbsp;km was chosen as it was the distance separating [[Marathon, Greece|Marathon]] from [[Athens]]. The current distance of the race is 42.195&nbsp;km, which the IAAF established in 1921 as the standard length of a marathon, following the [[Athletics at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's marathon|1908 Olympic race]] in London.

This first race was won by [[Len Hurst]] from England who crossed the finishing line in 2 hours, 31 minutes and 30 seconds.  His prize money was 200 [[francs]].

Some sources, including the [[Association of Road Racing Statisticians]], consider [[France|Frenchwoman]] [[Marie-Louise Ledru]] as the first female to race the now-defined marathon distance of 42.195&nbsp;km, as she set a time of 5 hours and 40 minutes during the 1918 edition of the Tour de Paris, while other sources, including the [[International Association of Athletics Federations]], credits [[Violet Piercy]] as the first to do so.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.arrs.run/RecProg/RP_wwR.htm|title=untitled|website=www.arrs.run}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.arrs.run/HP_ParisTourMa.htm|title=Tour de Paris Marathon|website=www.arrs.run}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5xlCAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Marie-Louise+Ledru%22|title=Fast Tracks: The History of Distance Running Since 884 B.C.|first1=Raymond|last1=Krise|first2=Bill|last2=Squires|date=April 10, 1982|publisher=S.

=== Current era ===
[[File:Runners along the Seine in the 2007 Paris Marathon.jpg|thumb|The race in 2007.  Note the runner wearing a model of the [[Eiffel Tower]].]]
The present Paris Marathon dates from 1976.  It is normally held on a Sunday in April and is limited to 50,000 runners. It is organised by the [[Amaury Sport Organisation]]. It is notable for the attractive route through the heart of the city of Paris.

Unlike most other marathons, but like all races in France, the Paris Marathon requires a doctor's note no more than a year old, stating that there is "no contraindication to competitive running".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.schneiderelectricparismarathon.com/en/information/medical-certificate|title=Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris - Medical Certificate|website=www.schneiderelectricparismarathon.com}}</ref>

In 2024, the Paris Marathon had 53,899 finishers. This set a new world record for the largest marathon in the world - exceeding the previous record at the 2019 New York City Marathon. The record was short-lived, though, as the 2024 Berlin Marathon exceeded that number with 54,154 finishers six months later in September.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rock |first=Brian |date=2024-10-05 |title=The 2024 Berlin Marathon: Three Interesting Data Insights (Plus More) |url=https://runningwithrock.com/berlin-2024/ |access-date=2024-12-07 |website=Running with Rock |language=en-US}}</ref>

[[File:Paris Marathon 2006-Handbike.jpg|thumb|Wheelchair races are also held at the competition]]
The race starts on the Avenue des [[Champs-Élysées]] going downhill to circle round the [[Place de la Concorde]] before turning right onto [[Rue de Rivoli]]. The route passes the [[Louvre]], then goes round the [[Place de la Bastille]], and down Boulevard Soult to the [[Bois de Vincennes]]. A long loop of the Bois de Vincennes returns the route into the heart of Paris. The halfway point is reached at Rue de Charenton. The route now follows the course of the [[Seine]], passing [[Île de la Cité]] and going under the [[Pont Neuf]], then a series of tunnels. There is a large drinks station and foot massage site at [[Trocadéro, Paris|Trocadéro]], opposite the [[Eiffel Tower]]. The route continues along the Seine, before branching off east to eventually pass through [[Bois de Boulogne]], emerging for the final 200 metres and the finish on the [[Avenue Foch]].
