The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation is set to host its first Road Safety Day later this month, an event promoting bicycle safety and core skills, in collaboration with partners such as the Monaco Red Cross, the Monaco Fire Department, BEKING and Monabike.
On Sunday 23rd March, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation will hold its inaugural Road Safety Day on the Promenade du Larvotto. The event, running from 10am to 5pm, will focus on bicycle road safety and encourage young people to engage in sports of all kinds through interactive workshops and educational experiences.
It will feature a road safety circuit designed to help participants practise and improve their cycling skills in a secure setting, road safety information stands, a pump track and a fun smoothie bike experience, where cyclists must harness their pedal power to turn a blender and create a juice.
A key highlight of the day will be the Bike Challenge. Reserved for six pre-formed teams comprising local sporting personalities and representatives from Monaco institutions, the challenge will see participants ride through Monaco for eight hours. The distance covered will be recorded, promoting both sustainable mobility and road safety in a competitive yet friendly setting. Visitors will also have a chance to test their own abilities in the Monabike Challenge.
Since its establishment in 2012, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation has focused on drowning prevention programmes and promoting education through sports. Initiatives such as Learn to Swim and Water Safety aim to instill values of solidarity, respect and discipline among young people. The upcoming Road Safety Day is aligned with this mission, combining physical activity with awareness campaigns to enhance public understanding of road safety issues.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own bicycles and helmets to take part in the various activities. For more information, click here.
