On Saturday, August 10, 2024, the Paris Games will draw to a close with the final sporting events. Among them, the women's and men's marathon, but also, the marathon for all, the only event in the history of the Games to be open to the general public.

Whether you start the Marathon pour tous or not, the race is already shaping up to be legendary: on the Olympic marathon course run by the world's best male and female athletes, some 20,000 runners will set out to conquer the queen of distances, 42.195 kilometers, on a never-before-seen course.

So, once you've analyzed the course and studied the steps you'll need to take to prepare yourself as best you can to cover such a distance with the strength of your legs, the question on the minds of future marathon runners is undoubtedly the medal they'll be awarded once they've crossed the finish line. Every year at the Paris Marathon, the presentation of the medal is the subject of much criticism, and it's almost a tradition for runners to discover it.

Highly design, the medal features the Paris 2024 Games logo on the front for a historic model: that of theonly marathon open to the public in the history of the Games. Although the designer is not yet known, we do know that the 10 km for all medal will be different from that of the marathon for all. To wear it proudly around your heart on Saturday, August 10, 2024, all you have to do is run 42.195 kilometers and, above all, cross the long-awaited finish line.
