in the quest for gender equality. Another significant change to the athletics program is the repechage-round format in all individual track events from 200 to 1500 m and the hurdles events (110 m for men, 100 m for women, and 400 m for both), a vast opportunity for the runners to have a second chance of entering the semifinal phase. This format will replace the former system of athletes advancing through the fastest overall times (q) apart from those qualifying directly in the first-round heats (Q).

, witnessing the runners traverse many of the city's most iconic sites and Olympic venues throughout the route. This traditional marathon course also sets a particularly tough profile with an overall elevation gain or loss of 438 m. The route, specially designed for the Paris 2024 Games and approved by World Athletics, is unique, demanding, and technical. Paris 2024 unveils the routes for the Olympic marathon and the two races – a 42.195 km course and a 10 km course – open to the general public as part of the mass event running.


Schedule

Road events (marathons and racewalks) will hold the races in the morning session of the athletics program schedule, with all track, field, and combined events staging their finals in the evening session for the first time since London 2012. In its four-decade-long Olympic history, the women's marathon will occur on the last day of the athletics program for the first time, with the men's race scheduled a day before. According to Tony Estanguet, a triple Olympic slalom canoeing champion and the president of Paris 2024 organizing committee, "We wanted to reverse the order in an ambition to more gender equality and bring women to the fore for the first time so the women's marathon will enjoy major visibility on 11 August to cap off the athletics program."


Qualification


Athletics – individual events

At the end of the 2022 season, World Athletics established a qualification system for athletics competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Similar to the previous edition, the qualification system is set on a dual pathway, where the initial half of the total quota (about fifty percent) will likely be distributed to the athletes through entry standards approved by the World Athletics council, with the remainder relying on the world ranking list within the qualifying period. Each country can enter a maximum of three athletes for each individual event on the Paris 2024 athletics program. The qualification period for all track and field events (except the 10,000 metres, heptathlon, and decathlon) runs from 1 July 2023, to 30 June 2024.

Athletics – 10,000 metres, road, and combined events

The qualification period for the marathon runs from 1 November 2022 to 30 April 2024 and for the 10,000 metres, combined events (men's decathlon and women's heptathlon) and racewalking from 31 December 2022 to 30 June 2024. In the marathon races, any runner ranked higher than the sixty-fifth-place athlete on the filtered Quota Place "Road to Paris" list on 30 January 2024, will be deemed eligible for immediate selection to his or her respective national team at the Games. Beyond the deadline, the remaining twenty percent of the total quota will be determined by the same dual pathway qualification criteria outlined above without displacing any qualified athletes on the set date.
