**Overseas charity challenge operator Classic Tours has secured 75 last minute places
for the 30th Paris Marathon on 9 April 2006. It is promoting them to charities looking
for an alternative for supporters to the London Marathon.**

Charities who can’t secure enough places in the London Marathon for their runners
now have a last opportunity to secure places in the Paris Marathon. Individual registrations
for the Paris Marathon are closed so Classic Tours’ 75 places could prove popular.

The annual Paris Marathon attracts 30,000 runners along its Champs-Elysées to Avenue
Foch route.

Classic Tours is offering a three day package from 8 – 10 April 2006 comprising 
Eurostar return travel and 3 star hotel accommodation.

Erich Reich, Managing Director of Classic Tours, said: “We intend to widen our marathon
programme later this year”.

Enquiries and applications for places at this year’s Paris Marathon will not be 
accepted after 23 January 2006.
