The 2026 Paris Marathon was marked by a sporting achievement and a powerful symbol. On April 12, 2026, Ethiopian Shure Demise won the women's race in 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 34 seconds, a new course record. This performance also signified a return to the highest level after a break related to maternity leave.<\/p>\n

A historic record in Paris<\/h2>\n

Over the 42.195 km course in Paris, Shure Demise triumphed over her rivals with a record-breaking time. The official organizer of the Paris Marathon confirmed her time of 2 hours, 18 minutes, and 34 seconds, stating that it is a new women's record for the event. AP and Olympics reported the same podium finishers, with Misgane Alemayehu in second place in 2 hours, 19 minutes, and 8 seconds, and Kenyan Magdalyne Masai in third place in 2 hours, 19 minutes, and 17 seconds.<\/p>\n
