No Finish Line Monaco 2026

From 14 to 22 November 2026, Monaco will once again come together for a cause that matters: supporting children in need. Organised by the Children & Future association, No Finish Line Monaco returns for its 27th edition, aiming to attract even more participants and raise funds for projects supporting sick and disadvantaged children.

The concept is simple but powerful: every kilometre covered generates one euro for charity. Whether walking or running, participants can make a tangible contribution to improving the lives of children supported by the association, regardless of their pace or the distance they choose to cover.

Since its launch in 1999, No Finish Line has brought together more than 203,000 walkers and runners. Together, they have covered 5,498,062 kilometres, enabling €5,823,869 to be donated to projects benefiting children. These figures demonstrate how sport can become a practical and meaningful way to help others.

No Finish Line Monaco 2026: Dates, Times and Location

The event will take place at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monaco, on a 1,140-metre circuit that will remain open continuously for eight days.

The official start is scheduled for Saturday, 14 November, at 2 pm, with the event finishing on Sunday, 22 November, at 2 pm. Participants can choose when to join the course and how long they wish to walk or run.

Key information:

Location: Chapiteau de Fontvieille, Monaco.

One Kilometre, One Euro: How the Charity Run Works

No Finish Line Monaco is designed to be accessible to everyone. Participants do not need to be experienced athletes or train for a competitive race. Anyone can walk or run at their own pace and choose their own distance.

Each participant receives an electronic chip that records the kilometres completed. For every kilometre covered, Children & Future commits to donating one euro to projects designed to improve the lives of children who are ill or experiencing hardship.

This approach gives every participant’s effort a tangible purpose. A family walk, a run before work or a longer training session can all contribute to the fundraising campaign.

The goal for 2026 is to exceed the 375,245 kilometres covered in 2025, increasing the funds available for charitable projects. The participation of local residents, families, associations, businesses and sports clubs will be essential to achieving this target.

Yakuba Ouattara Becomes Patron of Children & Future

One of the highlights of the 2026 edition is the appointment of Yakuba Ouattara as patron of Children & Future, the association behind No Finish Line Monaco.

The champion is joining the initiative to support children facing illness or disadvantage and help spread the event’s message of solidarity.

His involvement strengthens the connection between sport and social responsibility, demonstrating that the value of a sporting event lies not only in performances and results, but also in its ability to bring people together and make a positive difference to the community.

Alongside the event’s open format, which runs throughout the eight days, the programme includes dedicated challenges for those wishing to test their endurance over longer distances and time periods.

New for 2026: The 12-Hour Race

The main new feature for 2026 is the 12-hour race, scheduled for Thursday, 19 November, from 9 am to 9 pm.

Participants can compete individually or in relay teams of two to four runners. Registration is open until 6 pm on Sunday, 15 November, through the official website.

Both formats offer participants the opportunity to take on a more structured sporting challenge while keeping the event’s charitable mission at its heart.

Eight Days of Ultra-Endurance: Experienced Runners and Records to Beat

No Finish Line Monaco is also an important event for ultra-distance running enthusiasts. Around 40 experienced runners are expected to take on the continuous eight-day challenge, from 2 pm on 14 November until 2 pm on 22 November.

Some participants have been returning for many years, with a few taking part since the event’s earliest editions. Their performances make the ultra-endurance challenge one of the most anticipated features of the event.

The historical records reported by the organisers are:

Men’s individual record: 1,041 kilometres, set in 2012.
Women’s individual record: 928 kilometres, set in 2025.
Team record: 27,512 kilometres, set in 2018.

These impressive distances demonstrate the extraordinary endurance required and the importance of both physical and mental preparation in ultra-running.

Entertainment, Sport and Family Activities Throughout the Event

No Finish Line Monaco is much more than a sporting competition: it is also an opportunity to meet, connect and share experiences. Musical entertainment, sporting activities and events for children will take place throughout the eight days, welcoming participants of all ages.

The friendly atmosphere allows families, groups of friends, schools, associations and businesses to participate in an accessible and informal way, with everyone contributing according to their abilities.

Participants will also have access to refreshment stations and drinking water provided with the support of event partners, helping them replenish their energy and stay hydrated during physical activity.

Children & Future: Sport in the Service of Solidarity

With the 27th edition of No Finish Line Monaco, Children & Future continues a mission that has placed children and their needs at the heart of its work for more than 25 years.

The event demonstrates how a simple action, such as walking or running for a few minutes, can make a meaningful contribution. Every participant becomes part of a collective initiative in which individual efforts gain greater significance through the involvement of thousands of people.

No Finish Line Monaco brings together sport, solidarity and awareness, promoting a culture of sharing and social responsibility. The aim is not simply to cover the greatest distance: every step contributes to a common cause.

Join the event from 14 to 22 November 2026 at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monaco for eight days dedicated to sport and solidarity. At No Finish Line, every kilometre can make a difference in a child’s life.
