Though held in the same city as the 2024 Summer Olympics, the meeting was not held at the Olympic stadium track, the Stade de France.

Held on 7 July at the Stade Sébastien Charléty, it was the eighth leg of the 2024 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.

This was the fifth time the meeting was held on the stadium's renovated blue running track.

[1][2] Other notable performances occurred in the men's 800 meters, where three athletes ran under the 1:42 barrier; France's Gabriel Tual (1:41.61), Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi (1:41.58), who previously broke the 1:42 barrier at the 2024 Kenyan Olympic Trials, and Algeria's Djamel Sedjati (1:41.56).

[3][4] Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the 2024 Diamond League finals.
