PARIS (Reuters) -
Next year's Paris marathon will be held on Oct. 17, six months
later than scheduled, amid the COVID-19 crisis, organisers said
on Tuesday.
"Every effort will be made to ensure that the autumn race takes
place in safe conditions and in strict compliance with the
health regulations in force," Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO)
said in a statement.
This year's event had already been cancelled because of the
pandemic, and the 2021 race was initially scheduled to take
place on April 11.
