The Para triathlon course startede from Pont Alexandre III bridge near Seine River and ended at the same place. The event was held over sprint distance. There was a 750 metre Swim through the Seine; a 20 km para cycling at Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montaigne, crossing the Seine by the Pont des Invalides and reaching the Quai d'Orsay; and the last leg of 5 km run ended at Pont Alexandre III bridge.

World Triathlon confirmed the final entry list for the event in August 2024.
All three medalists from 2021 returned, and all three turned out to be a class above all their rivals, creating separation between themselves and the pack in the swim leg. However, in 2024 the American Grace Norman, bronze medallist behind a Great Britain one-two in 2021, put both the Brits behind here, coming on strongly in the run leg to claim gold ahead of Claire Cashmore. Tokyo champion Lauren Steadman settled for bronze.
