Always a pleasure to run in Paris. It was my 4th time, but the first after a break of 4 years. They had clearly taken on board feedback from previous years and despite increasing the number of entries, I found it entirely manageable as they planned the staggered starts really well, and the route had changed to avoid the worst bottlenecks. The best thing was the number of toilets available on the course - MUCH better. The only downsides were that some of the refreshment stations were running very low by the time I passed through them, and the photos were disappointing - no landmarks in the background so I could have been running anywhere. Obviously it was very sad to know we were the last to run past the Notre Dame before the fire. However, I can't help myself, I have already registered for next year, and the breakfast run on the Saturday which I highly recommend - two opportunities to run round Paris in one weekend, and 2 extra t shirts!!

There will be toilets available near each station.
WHAT IS THE MENU OF THE DAY?
You will find (in ample quantities) sweet and salty foods. Bananas, gingerbread slices, dried fruit, sugar cubes, pretzels, saltine crackers... There will be something for everyone!
These foods will be presented in a spaced out manner on the tables.
The volunteers will be happy to give you strength for the rest of your marathon!
DO NOT NEGLECT THE REFRESHMENTS!
Everyone knows the need to hydrate regularly and sufficiently. Bottles of Vittel® water are available at each feed station, every 5 km.
Don't wait until you are thirsty to hydrate yourself!
Eat regularly products that provide a quick and easily digestible supply of carbohydrates. For example, the bananas of the brand Banane de Guadeloupe & Martinique offered on the course are precious aids to limit the energy loss after two hours of effort and to keep a good performance at the muscular level.
RECYCLE YOUR WASTE!
Collection bins will be available at the start, at the refreshment posts and at the finish line. Throw your waste in the right bins: plastic bottles, food waste or textiles so that they can be recycled.
A LITTLE ADVICE :
Be careful, drinking too much at once or drinking water that is too cold can also affect your performance. You may feel bloated or even have stomach pains. A good technique: warm the water in your mouth before swallowing it!
