This Sunday, after 98 hours of racing, the 3rd edition of the 2021 No Finish Line Nice came to an end. For the first time, it was a connected event. Despite these technical constraints, the enthusiasm of the runners and walkers was not dampened as they performed worldwide to help the children in the disaster-stricken valleys.
The distance goal in kilometers was surpassed!

● 45,423 km covered. The 40,000 km goal was reached early Sunday afternoon.
● 45,423 euros will be donated to fund projects for disadvantaged children in the disaster-stricken valleys (1 km = 1 euro).
