Paris Marathon: everyone has their own challenge
In this special Paris Marathon issue, we met three runners with different profiles who will be at the start of the Paris race on April 12th:
- Laure Manaudou, a swimming champion, has taken on the challenge of completing her first marathon for fun and to prove to herself that she can do it.
- Alix Revenu, at 80 years old, has decided to participate in the Paris Marathon 10 years after her last race: a testament that the passion for running never fades with age.
- Lou Riguet, at 22 years old and recovering from cancer, has decided to prove that she can be stronger than the disease.
Like the thousands of runners at the start of the marathon on April 12th, these three athletes will experience the Parisian adventure with their own goals and motivation. What’s your story?
Find in this issue the detailed route of the Paris Marathon, the latest information on refreshments, and the strengths present!
