The race will ultimately not take place. Originally scheduled for April 5 in the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Paris marathon was postponed to October 18 and then postponed to November 15. But the organizer ASO (Amaury Sport Organization) announced on Wednesday that the event was definitively canceled in a context of resumption of the epidemic.
