On Sunday 3 April, 65,000 runners set off through Paris to cover the mythical distance of 42.195 kilometres.
Like the Paris marathon, 7,000 races are organised in France every year, drawing five million participants. That appeal creates new challenges for organisers.
In recent years, many digital tools have emerged that make preparing a sports event easier, particularly in the following areas:
- handling the administrative management of events responsibly
- using digital channels to make an event known and promote it
- managing the registration of thousands, or tens of thousands, of participants
- recruiting volunteers and keeping them.
