- 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.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is the leading community-funded national organisation in Australia raising money for research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer. The Team Pink program is aimed at encouraging the Australian sports and leisure community to get active and raise funds for breast cancer research. The program promotes the benefits of exercise in relation to prevention and recovery from breast cancer.
"My older children are now very aware of breast cancer. It caught my breath when my 10 year old son said ‘Mum, it’s very serious when breast cancer comes back a second time, some people don’t make it.’ But then he looked me in the eye and said, ‘I think you will. You beat it last time and you can beat it again.’ I hold onto these words every day."
– Louise, a breast cancer survivor
