Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held from 1 to 11 August 2024 at the Stade de France. The race walking occurred at Pont Alexandre III, while the marathon races began at Hotel de Ville and ended in Invalides.
The competition will feature an identical number of medal events for men and women, the first instance in Olympic history. The mixed team race walk course will contest for the first time at these Games, replacing the men's 50 kilometres race walk in the quest for gender equality.
Another significant change to the athletics program is the repechage-round format in all individual track events from 200 to 1500 m and the hurdles events (110 m for men, 100 m for women, and 400 m for both), an opportunity for the runners to have a second chance of entering the semifinal phase.
