Olympic Marathon (Women)
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games promised to revolutionize the Olympic and Paralympic Games experience for the general public. Many people shared a dream that is now a reality: with the Paris 2024 Mass Participation Marathon, amateur athletes will be able to run the same route as the Olympic marathon, by night, enabling as many people as possible to follow in the footsteps of outstanding athletes.

Olympic Track & Field
All track & field finals for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be held during the evening sessions (some finals had been held in the morning during the 2016 and 2020 Olympics). The marathons will remain in the morning, though the men’s marathon will no longer be held on the final day of the Games, as had been tradition. That honor for the first time will go to the women’s marathon, which will be held on August 11.
Olympic Cycling Road Race (Women)
The road race, in which all riders set off at the same time in a mass start, is highly a tactical feat of endurance. Often, the race (over 120km for the women, and over 200km for the men) is won in a sprint finish over a few hundred meters, which means riders need to position themselves perfectly and conserve their energy in the first part of the race.

Olympic Cross-Country Cycling (Men)
Riders set off from the same starting line and contest multiple laps around a loop on mountainous, rough terrain that tests their technique, endurance and stamina. Races feature a mass start and, in general, multiple laps. Riders take 1h20 to 1h40 to complete an intense course full of twists and turns, covering tens of kilometers during the event.
Olympic Individual Time Trials
The time trial is a solo effort in which the riders set off at staggered times rather than in a grouped peloton. They cover a much shorter distance than in the road race, as the time trial rarely exceeds 50km. It is a discipline that requires consistency and concentration as well as preservation through effective aerodynamic positioning and power.
Olympic 10km Open Water (Men)
The men’s and women’s 10km Open Water swim will be must-see events as swimmers will race in the Seine River in the first point-to-point open water races at an Olympics since the first time the Games were held in Paris in 1900.
