The Tour de France is the most popular sport event in France. No other event can rivalize in terms of number of spectators. It can gather millions of people along the roads of the race. The main reason is that it is free.
In the Olympic and Commonwealth games the marathon is the longest non-motorised sporting event. The iron man triathlon is the longest recognised sporting event held in one day (2.4 miles swim, a 112 miles bike and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run) The Tour de France cycle race is the longest non-motorised sporting event in total and covers approximately 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi)
