Paris Marathon called off
Print Edition
This year’s Paris Marathon has been canceled, organizers said yesterday, as France battles against a resurgence of the COVID-19 virus. The marathon was originally due to take place on April 5 but had been postponed to November 15 because of the pandemic. “After having tried everything to maintain the event, we, alongside the City of Paris, feel obliged to cancel the 2020 edition of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris and the Paris Breakfast Run,” organizers said in a statement. The Paris Marathon, one of the most popular events on the global running calendar, is the latest to be disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak. In June, the New York City Marathon was canceled while the Boston Marathon was also scrapped for the first time in its 124-year history. Marathon majors in Berlin and Chicago were also canceled while the London Marathon, originally set for April, was put off to October 4 and will be run as an elite-only event.
