Spread over 11 days, athletics action at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will start with the 20km race walk events on Thursday 1 August, and end with the women’s marathon on the final day of the Games, Sunday 11 August. In between, track and field competition will take place during 17 sessions at the Stade de France.

Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were held between 1 and 11 August 2024, featuring a total of 48 medal events across three distinct sets: track and field, road running, and racewalking.

One notable change from previous Olympic Games is the addition of an extra day to the swimming schedule, meaning there will be action in athletics, artistic gymnastics and swimming – three of the most anticipated sports worldwide – on the same day on both 3 and 4 August 2024.

Olympic Games ticketing is now open and organisers have also revealed the routes for the Olympic marathon and the two mass event races – a 42.195km course and a 10km course – that will be open to the general public. • Athletics timetable for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games
