World Athletics Opens Doors to Paris Olympics 2024 for Athletes With Uncontested Participation

With only 177 days remaining until the official opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics games, the committee has unveiled its plans for an exceptional event: a marathon for all. Commenting at the Paris City Hall Square, the mass race will be conceived alongside the official Olympics Marathon. 

Notably, each race will accommodate 20 participants embarking on the scenic tour of Paris on the 10-kilometer route within the limits of Paris. With 35k bibs already distributed since the first sale, participants are mounting for anticipation. Amidst the favor, World Athletics has presented a golden opportunity for competitors worldwide. 

Opportunity to fulfil Paris Olympics dreams

To share the ecstatic news among the spectators, World Athletics took to their official Instagram account and uploaded a glimpse of the Paris 2024 marathon Pour Tours. They penned, ” The chance of a lifetime ‼️ With 150 days to go to @paris2024, World Athletics and Paris 2024 team up to offer 20 lucky winners a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win a bib and race in the #MarathonPourTous Paris 2024 and 10km on August 10.“

World Athletics and Paris 2024 have recently joined forces to present an unprecedented opportunity for the 20 lucky winners to participate in the upcoming Paris 2024 Pour Tous event. This exclusive initiative is mainly to offer ten bibs to marathon runners, with five allocated to male and five to female participants. Additionally, ten bibs will be reserved for the participants competing in the 10km race.

While the chance to secure a coveted bib and compete is undoubtedly appealing, it is the allure of the exciting prizes on stage that has captured the attention of sports enthusiasts worldwide. Participants have the opportunity to vie for either physical bibs or 10k prizes, but before that, they are required to meet the qualification requirements to add an extra layer of challenge to the event. 

What are the Qualifications for the upcoming 2024 Paris Pour Tous?

To qualify for the prestigious prize, participants must first complete a registration process, providing their personal details such as email and phone number. In addition to this, they are also required to specify the country, gender, and race they intend to compete in, as these participants will be responsible for covering their own travel expenses.

Following the registration period, 20 winners aged 18 or above will be available to compete on August 10. Final winners will be notified and coordinated by the Organising Committee to ensure the smooth allocation of prices.
