Place de la Bastille, where the new race finished

The Paris Ekiden, formerly known as the Versailles to Paris Ekiden, is an international ekiden (marathon relay race) held in Paris. The inaugural race in 1990 was marred by a series of problems, which led to the race's discontinuation until 2013 when it returned on an annual basis.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The inaugural edition of the race in 1990 featured 20 teams of 6 runners, with each team consisting of 4 men and 2 women. It had a budget of 6 million Euros.[3]

During the final stage of the race, all teams except for the two leaders Great Britain and Denmark ran off course. As a result, all but those teams ran approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) short of the official race distance. It was viewed as a failure of event security, and the competition was not held again the following year.[3][1]

The race would not return again until 2013 on a yearly basis, with the elite athletes running alongside a mass ekiden race. The new race started near The Louvre and finished at the Place de la Bastille.[4]
