A Runner from USA (5/16/2000)

"Great Race!" (about: 2000)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5

Just ran Marathon de Paris 9 April 2000 (my 30th). Perfect weather. A more
dramatic Start than the New York City Marathon (and I've done 13 of NYCM) in
front of the Arc de Triomphe and racing slight downhill on the Champs
Ellysee. Many spectators on this broad boulevard cheering us on. Pass the
Concorde where the guillitine chopped a few heads, thence the Louvre,
Bastille and Vincennes Park. Looping back along the River Seine, Notre Dame,
the Eiffel Tower into another park toward the Finish on Foch Boulevard only four blocks from where we started. Water served in large bottles. 32,000
starters. Six hour time limit. I'm definitely going again in 2001 -it's the 25th Anniversary of the race. The people are very nice and the food is
excellent. Paris is a very clean city and the Metro subway system is the
greatest. I recommend the Dinner/Show at the Moulin Rouge.
