- Marathon de
Paris
15 April 2012
People escape to Paris to indulge in art, food, fashion, and, for the truly passionate among you, marathons for charity.
You’ll start from the Champs-Élysées going downhill as smells of fresh bread intoxicate your senses. Past the Louvre, you pour into the heart of Paris propelled ahead by promises of wine and cheese at the 35 km mark.
Now you’ll move along the Seine under a series of tunnels before emerging at the Eiffel Tower, triumphant and ready to celebrate the night away.

Marathon
22 April 2012
Imagine your heart thumping as the start gun fires and you take off along the River Thames, catching glimpses of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre before reaching the halfway mark at the commanding Tower Bridge.
Now you’re moving east towards Canary Wharf, past St. Paul’s Cathedral, and into the final leg of the race. As the London Eye comes into view, you see the sights of Big Ben and Westminster in the distance.
Minutes later you triumphantly cross the finish line in front of Buckingham Palace. A moment you will never forget.

About Cure Cancer Australia Foundation
“Wouldn’t it be sensational if in our lifetimes we could see cancer relegated to a ‘complaint’ that can be prevented, or treated painlessly and effectively? For over 44 years Cure Cancer Australia has held an invaluable role which has been to fund young researchers at the beginning of their careers and to help them to have their fresh ideas championed. It is their creativity, innovation and passion for new insight that can lead us to a cure.”
– Leanne Warner, CEO, Cure Cancer Australia Foundation
