The exact locations of the refreshment stations on the course of the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris are the following:
- 7,3 km on the right side of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine
- 12,8 km on the left side of Route de la Pyramide
- 17,7 km on the right side of Avenue de Gravelle
- 22,8 km on the left side of Avenue Daumesnil
- 27 km on the left side of Quai des Tuileries
- 29,9 km on the right side of Place de Varsovie
- 34,6 km on the left side of Boulevard Suchet
- 38,5 km on the left side of Allée de Longchamp
The locations of these stations have been carefully selected to take road width, road works and logistics (refreshments and waste management) into account.
Of course, there will be a 9th refreshment station in the finish area.
These full refreshment stations (food and drink) are 160 metres long. You do not need to grab what you need from the very first table. Make use of their full length to avoid causing a melee.
There will be water points for you to freshen up in between refreshment stations.
The COVID-19 protocol has left us with no choice but to dispense with certain bulk foods (e.g. nuts, lumps of sugar and pretzels) to avoid multiple people touching the same food when grabbing something.
In contrast, there will be plenty of bananas, slices of spice bread, slices of sweet cake, salted biscuits… These foods will be spaced out on the refreshment tables.
The refreshment station at the finish has a more varied menu.
Do your bit and succeed in another a challenge!
The Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris would like to adopt an exemplary approach to recycling.
Let’s all get involved!
Our objective: 100% recycling
An operation which has been significantly increased and the willingness of everyone to do their bit.
ste.
Clothing left at the start
Stay warm before the start but choose an old sweatshirt rather than a bin bag. You can leave this item of clothing on the side of the route before the start line, which will then be recovered and recycled.
Food waste
Bananas, apples and oranges skins will be collected in specific bins, placed as near as possible to the feeding stations. This food waste will be recycled via methanation and composting processes.
Banana skins dropped on the ground are no laughing matter for the runners following you, or for the road sweepers.
Your actions are important.
Aim for the target with your bottles!
Bottles can recycled over and over again, so aim for the target and give them a second life.
Bins featuring a target will be available and positioned during 700 metres to meet your needs.
Each runner will be able to dispose of their bottle according to their race pace and their hydration needs.
N.B.: bottles will not be collected after the final zone, 700 metres from the feeding station.
A bottle or a banana skin dropped on the ground will finish as refuse.
A bottle or a banana skin placed in the appropriate bin will be recycled.
