The men's marathon at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 10 August 2024. This was the 30th time that the men's marathon was contested at the Summer Olympics.

Summary

The men's marathon at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on August 10, 2024, in Paris, France. The race featured the return of all three medalists from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics: two-time gold medalist Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya, silver medalist Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands, and bronze medalist Bashir Abdi of Belgium. Kipchoge, the champion of the past two Olympic marathons, sought to make history with a victory in Paris becoming the first athlete to win three Olympic gold medals in the marathon.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-26 |title=Kenyan Kipchoge ready to make history at Paris Olympics |url=https://www.africanews.com/2024/07/26/kenyan-kipchoge-ready-to-make-history-at-paris-olympics/ |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=Africanews |language=en}} 2022 World Championship gold medalist Tamirat Tola, who also took silver back in 2017 and a track 10,000 bronze medal from 2016, came here as the alternate filling the shoes of injured Sisay Lemma. Abdi was also bronze medalist in 2022. 2023 World Champion Victor Kiplangat and silver medalist Maru Teferi are also entered. Yaseen Abdalla represented Qatar, making his marathon debut through a universality place.{{Cite web |last=Kelsall |first=Christopher |date=2024-05-09 |title=World Athletics adds 20 universality spots to Paris Marathon |url=https://athleticsillustrated.com/world-athletics-adds-11-universality-positions-to-marathon-fields-for-2024-paris-olympic-games/ |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=Athletics Illustrated |language=en-CA}} The marathon world record holder, Kelvin Kiptum, was killed in a car accident in February 2024.

The race commenced at 08:00 Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) under favorable weather conditions. In the initial stages, nearly 43 year old Bat-Ochiryn Ser-Od of Mongolia led the pack for the first 5 kilometers, followed by Héctor Garibay taking the front position until the 10-kilometer mark. Around 12 kilometers, Eyob Faniel of Italy made a significant surge, increasing the pace to 3:00 per kilometer, establishing a 23-second lead by the 15-kilometer point. The field was going closer to 3:07. However, the first series of hills had already begun when Faniel had 23 seconds over the field at 15K.

The hilly sections of the course significantly impacted the race dynamics, it broke apart the large pack, the lead "chase group" included Tamirat Tola, Bashir Abdi, Conner Mantz, Alphonce Simbu, Akira Akasaki, Elroy Gelant, Suguru Osako, with Deresa Geleta and Clayton Young hanging on the back. The earlier lead athlete Eyob Faniel began to slow on the inclines, reducing his advantage to 11 seconds by the 20K mark. Seizing the opportunity, Tola and Mantz began to accelerate and close their gap between them and Faniel, and they catching Faniel just over half a kilometer later. The three crossed the half marathon mark in 1:04:51. Geleta was next, 7 seconds back. With the easy downhill section, it took the lead chase group a little over 2K to catch back up to the leaders.

The subsequent downhill segment allowed the chase group to regroup, forming a lead pack of 15 runners by the 25K mark, with Akasaki marginally ahead. Faniel had by then fallen behind the leaders. Approaching the 28K mark, the course's challenging hills resumed. Akasaki maintained his lead initially, but Tola soon overtook him, steadily increasing his advantage. This move caused the lead pack to disintegrate. By the 29K point, Tola held a seven-second lead over Emile Cairess, the nearest pursuer. After a water station near the hill's summit, Tola commenced the descent, reaching the 30-kilometer mark with an 11-second lead over Cairess. Geleta, Abdi, and Akasaki followed.

With the steep descent, the order shifted again. Geleta overtook Cairess, while Akasaki moved ahead of Abdi. Simbu, capitalizing on the descent, surpassed all three. Geleta responded by reclaiming his position ahead of Simbu. By the time they reached the base near the 33-kilometer mark, Tola maintained a 13-second lead. The group behind him consolidated, with Tebello Ramakongoana and Benson Kipruto making significant gains to join the chasers.

With 5K remaining, Geleta, Abdi, and Kipruto formed a distinct chase group, distancing themselves from Akasaki. Tola extended his lead to 27 seconds. Shortly thereafter, Kipruto began to lose contact with the other chasers. In the final kilometer, Abdi reduced the gap to 17 seconds. Tola finished with the time 2:06:26 and narrowly break the Olympic record set by Samuel Wanjiru of Kenya at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. 21 seconds later, Abdi finished for silver 13 seconds ahead of Kipruto. Japan was the first country to get three across the finish line, ahead of Ethiopia and Italy.https://olympics.com/OG2024/pdf/OG2024/ATH/OG2024_ATH_C77V_ATHMMARATHON----------FNL-000100--.pdf

Background

The men's marathon has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since the inaugural edition in 1896, making this the 30th appearance of the event.

Course

The marathon course began at the Hôtel de Ville and traversed many of the host city's most iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre before concluding at Les Invalides. Paris officials have stated the route has taken inspiration from the Women's March on Versailles. The route was characterized by significant elevation changes, totaling approximately 436 meters of ascent and 438 meters of descent, with gradients reaching up to 13.5%. Due to the elevation profile, the course has been discussed as one of the more challenging Olympic marathons. Notably, for the first time in Olympic history, the public had the opportunity to run the marathon course. Following the Olympic marathon, up to 40,000 runners will be able to participate in a public marathon or a 10k race.{{Cite web |title=Paris 2024 reveals routes for Olympic marathon and mass event run {{!}} News {{!}} Paris 24 {{!}} Olympic Games |url=https://worldathletics.org/competitions/olympic-games/paris24/news/article/paris-2024-olympic-marathon-course-mass-run-route |access-date=2024-08-03 |website=worldathletics.org}}

Qualification

{{main|Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Qualification#Men's marathon}}

In order to comply with the 80-athlete capacity imposed by the IOC, World Athletics debuted a new qualification system ahead of the Paris games. Each country is eligible to send three athletes to compete in the marathon; however, each spot must be "unlocked" in one of three ways between 6 November 2022 to 30 April 2024. To unlock guaranteed spots for their country, athletes must run under a 2:08:10 in an eligible race within the time period. Athletes may also unlock a spot for their country by placing top five at a World Athletics platinum-level race or by reaching a high-enough World Athletics rankings. The world rankings were used to fill any entries not allocated to time-unlocked spots. Once spots have been unlocked for a country, the National Olympic Federation can select athletes to fill their spots as they see fit. While any athlete can be assigned to an unlocked spot, they must have run at least the Quota Reallocation Time of 2:11:30.{{Cite web |title=U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials: All you need to know about qualifying {{!}} NBC Olympics |url=https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/us-olympic-marathon-trials-all-you-need-know-about-qualifying |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=www.nbcolympics.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2024-01-24 |title=Why the U.S. Might Have Only Two Men in the Olympic Marathon |url=https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a46341794/us-olympic-marathon-trials-qualification-explained/ |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Runner's World |language=en-US}}

National Olympic Federations could also use a universality spot in the marathon. Any country with no qualified athlete was allowed to enter their best-ranked runner in the marathon regardless of qualification standards.{{Cite web |last=Kelsall |first=Christopher |date=2024-05-09 |title=World Athletics adds 20 universality spots to Paris Marathon |url=https://athleticsillustrated.com/world-athletics-adds-11-universality-positions-to-marathon-fields-for-2024-paris-olympic-games/ |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Athletics Illustrated |language=en-CA}}

The qualification period for the 2024 Olympic Marathon ended on 30 April 2024 and exceeded the 80-athlete target by one entry.{{Cite web |date=23 July 2024 |title=Athletic Entries- Men's Marathon |url=https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/entries/athletics/all-noc/men-s-marathon |website=Paris 2024}}
