The routes for the para road cycling and para marathon events of the Paris Paralympic Games (August 28-September 8) were revealed on Tuesday October 24 by the organizers, highlighting several towns in Seine-Saint-Denis, north of the capital. The events in both disciplines, which will take place between September 4 and 8, 2024, will be completely free for the public. The marathon will be held on the last day of the Games, over a distance of 42.195 kilometers, more than half of which will be covered in Seine-Saint-Denis, before arriving at the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris. The start will be given at Parc Georges-Valbon, which crosses the communes of La Courneuve, Saint-Denis, Stains and Dugny. The town of Clichy-sous-Bois, east of Paris, will host the start and finish of the time trial and para cycling road race events, around a circuit of 13.9 km which will pass in particular through the Forest of Bondy and the department of Seine et Marne (77). A mixed relay event will also take place, over a 1.8km course, still in Clichy-sous-Bois. Seine-Saint-Denis will be the scene of several Games events. In addition to para cycling and the marathon, the department will host the athletics (Stade de France) and sitting volleyball (Arena Paris Nord) events for the Paralympics.
