Paris Marathon: Mulugeta Uma and Mestawut Fikir, Ethiopia's surprise double. More than 54,000 participants were expected for this 47th edition of the race.

In the disabled category, it was the Dutchman Geert Schipper, 52 years old and second last year, who won alone in 1h 34 min 36 sec. The route, which started near the Arc de Triomphe and finished in the woods of Vincennes and Boulogne, was very different from that which awaits the runners during the Paris Olympics.
