Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène attended the second edition of Road Safety Day on Sunday. The family event, organised by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation on the Larvotto esplanade, combines sport with education to protect younger generations.

The couple were joined by Gareth Wittstock, Secretary General of the Foundation, and Anne Boggio, its Director, as they toured a series of interactive stands and sporting activities designed to promote road safety.

The programme of the day blended fun with education. The Prince and Princess explored an animation village, a pumptrack circuit and a dedicated cycling safety course where both children and adults could sharpen their road skills in a safe environment. Additionally, they took part in the Monabike challenge, a sporting experience set to promote electric bike usage.

Then, at 9:45am, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene officially launched the day’s main event: an eight-hour endurance relay through the streets of the Principality.

Seven teams, made up of public figures and representatives from Monaco’s institutions, took turns cycling the course, with each kilometre intended as a symbol of collective commitment to safer roads.

The event was made possible through partnerships with the Monégasque Red Cross, the Fire Brigade, the Sûreté Publique, the SMA and La Vuelta cycling organisation, all of whom contributed workshops and demonstrations throughout the morning.
