The 13th edition of the Pink Ribbon Monaco Walk is set to take place on the same weekend as the Monaco Run Gramaglia. The walk, which will be held on Sunday 9th February, represents an opportunity for the public at large to come together and raise both awareness and funds for breast cancer projects, such as early detection and screening campaigns in the region. Here’s how to sign up to take part.
The walk, an annual event that has become a central component of Pink Ribbon Monaco’s efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer on a local level, brings the community together to support those affected by breast cancer, honour survivors and those who have lost their lives to the disease, and contribute to life-saving research and early detection efforts.
Run by Natasha Frost-Savio and under Princess Charlene’s Honorary Presidency, Pink Ribbon Monaco is inviting people from all walks of life to sign up to enjoy a 5-kilometre route that takes in Monaco’s most scenic landmarks. The walk will begin at 10.15am and is open to individuals of all fitness levels, making it perfect for families, including children under 13, who can join for free.
Participants will walk past the Prince’s Palace, the Cathedral of Monaco, the Oceanographic Museum and the Casino de Monte-Carlo terraces. Pushchairs and wheelchairs are welcome, though assistance may be needed in some areas, and furry friends are also invited to join the cause.
The Pink Ribbon Walk is not a race, but rather a symbolic gesture of solidarity. Instead of traditional race numbers, participants will wear bibs with messages of support or tributes to those affected by breast cancer. As such, the event has become a powerful display of love, remembrance and hope for all involved.
Following the walk, there will be a raffle, with tickets priced at €10 for five numbers. There will be a range of exciting prizes up for grabs.
Everyone who participates in the walk will also receive a commemorative t-shirt, making for a meaningful keepsake from the day.
For the second year in a row, the second day of the Monaco Run Gramaglia will coincide with the Pink Ribbon Walk, adding momentum to the occasion. Monaco Run offers keen runners a variety of trails, from a 1,000-metre city sprint to a challenging 30-kilometre trail run up to Mont Agel. The event will encompass Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th February.
Registration for the Pink Ribbon Walk costs €30 per person. To sign up, click here.
