Berliner Boersenzeitung - Monaco’s No Finish Line Charity Run Returns for 2026 Edition

Thousands of runners and walkers are expected to participate in Monaco’s No Finish Line when the annual charity event commences this Saturday, November 14. The initiative aims to raise funds for projects supporting sick and disadvantaged children through mass participation.

The 27th edition, organized by Children & Future under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, opens at 14:00 at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille. The event continues non-stop until 14:00 on Sunday, November 22, creating a continuous eight-day and eight-night window for participation.

The concept allows individuals and teams of any age or ability to join, whether preferring running or walking. There is no minimum distance or required pace; participants are free to complete as many laps as they wish throughout the duration. For every kilometre covered, Children & Future donates €1 toward its charitable projects. Funding is further supported through participant registrations, direct donations, and corporate sponsorship.

Participants follow a circuit of approximately 1.1 kilometres around the Fontvieille venue. An electronic timing chip records each completed lap, and the course remains accessible around the clock for the duration of the event.

This year’s programme includes several specific endurance challenges alongside the open participation format. A 12-hour race is scheduled for Thursday, November 19, running from 09:00 until 21:00. The 24-hour Trophy begins at 20:00 on Friday, November 20, and concludes at 20:00 on Saturday, November 21. Competitors may enter these challenges individually or as relay teams of up to six people.

A separate eight-day challenge is also available for those wishing to test their endurance over the full duration of the event.

Although online pre-registration has closed, individual participants can still sign up at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille starting at 10:00 on Saturday, November 14. Standard registration costs €16 for adults and €9 for children aged 10 and under. An additional refundable €10 deposit is required for the timing chip.

Further information and registration details are available through the official Children & Future website. Since its creation in 1999, No Finish Line has become one of Monaco’s most recognized annual charity events, combining mass sporting participation with fundraising efforts that convert physical endurance into support for children in need.
