Paris Marathon

Limestone1

Don't see a thread here so kicking one off.After the postponement in april; they have kicked the entries to October. Good chance of further postponement so no harm to throw up a thread here for swaps or sales etc.
I am unlikely to run Paris in October but COVID 19 permitting I would aim for Dublin

Some weird rumours going on about Paris marathon 2020 being pushed back 4 weeks later to November 15th on facebook and twitter from relatively reasonable sources: travel operator, magazine...

Organisers getting dogs abuse on the FB page over this from people who rebooked flights and accommodation for the September date. Majority of them would prefer a cancellation to the April 2021 date. I dont think I would take a chance of booking for the November date now. If you dont run it this year you have to wait until December 2021 for a refund !!

Yes ASO, who are the organisers, are taking the piss.

Yes got the same. There won't be any big city marathons in the Spring. Maybe Vaccine cert needed to run in October

Fantastic. Ive never run NY but heard great things about it. I'll likely do Dublin myself in October so no Paris for me either.

Some great choices in Eupore next Autumn without the grind of training through our winter!

New York is class. Its a tough course though, so go for the experience and enjoyment of it
