No Finish Line returns to Monaco from 14 to 22 November 2026 for its 27th edition. Over nine days, thousands of participants will walk or run around a 1,140-metre circuit in Fontvieille, united by a common goal: turning every kilometre covered into financial support for sick or disadvantaged children. Organised by the charity Children & Future, this year's event benefits for the first time from the joint patronage of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.

 

Nine Days of Solidarity in the Heart of Fontvieille

The No Finish Line circuit has already been set up between the Fontvieille Big Top and the harbour breakwater, ready to welcome participants from Saturday, 14 November.

The principle behind this charity event is simple: everyone can walk or run at their own pace, with every kilometre completed converted into a financial contribution thanks to the support of sponsors.

The funds raised enable Children & Future to finance projects aimed at improving the lives of children affected by illness or difficult social circumstances.

Since its creation in 1999, No Finish Line has become one of the Principality's most important charity events, bringing together residents, businesses, associations and athletes each year in support of a common cause.

 

Aiming to Surpass the 375,245 Kilometres Achieved in 2025

For its 27th edition, organisers hope to exceed the 375,245 kilometres completed during last year's event.

However, no official distance target has been set this year, mainly because of unpredictable weather conditions. Rain can affect the accessibility of the circuit and influence participation throughout the week.

Ariane Favaloro, President of Children & Future, nevertheless emphasises the ambition to increase the total number of kilometres and maintain the highest possible level of participation.

Every additional lap represents another contribution to the children supported by the organisation.

 

Already 11,000 Registrations and 300 Companies Taking Part

Enthusiasm for this year's event is already evident ahead of its official opening.

According to the organisers, 11,000 people have already registered, while 300 companies have formed their own teams to participate in the challenge.

This impressive response highlights how deeply No Finish Line has become embedded in Monaco's community life, combining physical activity, team spirit and charitable commitment.

Whether participating with colleagues, friends, family members or local associations, everyone can contribute to the collective effort by accumulating kilometres throughout the nine-day event.

 

First-Ever Joint Patronage by the Princely Couple

The 2026 edition benefits from particularly symbolic support.

For the first time, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene are jointly lending their patronage to No Finish Line.

Their involvement highlights the importance the event has gained within Monaco's charitable and community landscape.

Basketball player Yakuba Ouattara, a long-standing supporter of the initiative who became a patron of Children & Future this year, will also be present to encourage participants.

AS Monaco is also among the committed partners supporting the 27th edition.

 

More Than €5.8 Million Raised Since 1999

Since its inaugural edition in 1999, No Finish Line Monaco has built an impressive record of charitable achievement.

Participants have collectively covered 5,498,062 kilometres over the years.

This remarkable community effort has generated €5,823,869 to finance charitable projects supporting children affected by illness or social hardship.

These figures demonstrate the lasting impact of an event that, for almost three decades, has transformed an accessible sporting activity into meaningful assistance for children in need.

 

Monaco Comes Together Once Again for Children

From 14 to 22 November, Fontvieille will once again become a gathering place for thousands of people united by a shared determination to advance solidarity, step by step and kilometre by kilometre.

Beyond individual sporting achievements, No Finish Line is above all about collective participation and the belief that even a small personal effort can help improve a child's life.

With 11,000 participants already registered, the support of hundreds of companies and the involvement of the Princely Couple, the 27th edition promises to be another major highlight of Monaco's charitable calendar.
