The Paris 2024 Olympics concludes with a challenging women's marathon from Hôtel de Ville to Versailles, alongside final medal events.
On the final day of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the women’s marathon will take center stage, starting at 9 a.m.
This grueling race will connect the historic Hôtel de Ville in Paris with the opulent Palace of Versailles.
The marathon's route is a scenic yet demanding challenge, weaving through nine districts of the Île-de-France region, including Boulogne-Billancourt, Sèvres, and Meudon.
Participants will face a formidable 436m climb and a 438m descent, with a punishing 13.5% gradient at its steepest point.
The final day is poised to be an epic culmination of the Games, as athletes push their limits on this historic course.
