Those keen to pick up some new jogging gear can attend the specially organised Running Expo between April 7th and 9th.

The free event is taking place at the Parc des Expositions de Paris.

Registration for the main race is closed, but people can still watch the action and cheer on those brave enough to attempt a full marathon.
