Monaco’s No Finish Line will return from Saturday 14th to Sunday 22nd November, inviting runners and walkers to turn their kilometres into support for sick and disadvantaged children.
Now in its 27th edition, the charity event is organised by Children & Future under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II. For each kilometre covered, the association donates €1 to projects helping children, with funding provided through registrations, sponsors, and donors. Participants can join individually or as a team, choosing their own pace and distance.
Since its creation in 1999, No Finish Line Monaco has brought together over 200,000 participants who have collectively covered almost 5.5 million kilometres and helped provide over €5.8 million for charities.
EIGHT DAYS OF WALKING AND RUNNING
The event begins at 2pm on Saturday 14th November and continues around the clock until 2pm on Sunday 22nd November.
Participants will follow an approximately 1.1-kilometre circuit in Fontvieille. Each participant receives a tracking chip that records completed laps, with one registration covering the whole week. This allows participants to return whenever they wish, whether for a short walk or longer run.
ENDURANCE CHALLENGES
For those seeking a tougher test, the programme includes an eight-day challenge, a 12-hour race on Thursday 19th November from 9am to 9pm, and a 24-hour trophy running from 8pm on Friday 20th November until 8pm on Saturday 21st November.
The 24-hour event is open to individuals and relay teams of up to six people. Strollers and dogs will not be permitted on the circuit during this period, although both are welcome at other times, with dogs kept on a short lead.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Standard registration costs €16 for adults and €9 for children aged 10 and under, plus a refundable €10 tracking-chip deposit.
On-site registration opens at 10am on Saturday 14th November at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille. Further information is available on the Children & Future website.
