The dedicated team of Hand in Hand at the No Finish Line Monaco experiences a busy start to the week. In three days, they have managed to establish a strong dynamic and unite more than a hundred participants. The project advances step by step on the Monaco circuit.
The No Finish Line Monaco began on Saturday, November 15th at 2:30 PM. The start was marked by the official opening conducted by Princess Charlene of Monaco. The 26th edition gathered from the early hours a large audience, made up of regular runners, walkers, and many participants who came to support charitable projects. In this context, the launch of the team “Hand in Hand for Everyone’s Happiness” took place in the presence of more than 110 people. The collective gathered around a common goal: participating in this charity race by providing visibility and support to its actions.
The first three days set the foundation for a smooth organization. Volunteers took turns on the circuit. Families provided constant support. Partners contributed to the successful progress of the project. The atmosphere was marked by a continuous presence on the loop and a collective commitment. This mobilization resulted in visible cohesion. Participants alternated between walking and running. They progressed throughout the hours at a pace suited to their abilities. The interactions facilitated a regular participation. The team engaged in a simple approach: moving forward together.
During the first two days, the team found themselves at the top of the general team ranking. This moment was experienced as a significant milestone. The ranking remains provisional, but the experience strengthened the team spirit. The diversity of the participants contributed to an open dynamic. People from different backgrounds advanced side by side. They encouraged each other and consistently shared their efforts. This shared experience structured the beginning of the project.
Meetings also left an impression on the participants. The team had the opportunity to engage with Princess Charlene of Monaco.
At the end of the third day of the No Finish Line, the counter showed over 3,300 kilometers covered. This performance placed the team in the second position out of 319 committed groups. The pace remains steady and the goal now is to maintain this momentum.
A mobilization supported by individual and collective initiatives
The participation of several athletes bolstered the project’s advancement. Guides have been taking turns since the start of the race to accompany Siri, a visually impaired athlete. This constant support allows for regular and safe effort. The organization ensures the proper coordination of these relays. Olivier, for his part, continues a clear personal challenge: to run a marathon each day. Since the beginning of the event, he has maintained this pace consistently. Siri manages to cover around 90 kilometers per day. These individual efforts contribute to the team’s overall progress. They also set the rhythm of the group’s activity and participate in the overall motivation.
The event continues throughout the week. The team is still open to those who wish to join. Interested individuals can walk or run on the loop. They can also engage on an ad-hoc basis according to their availability.
The message conveyed by the organization is simple: every participation counts. Every kilometer added supports the project carried by “Hand in Hand for Everyone’s Happiness.”
The collective also emphasizes the solidarity goals linked to this participation. The donations collected will help to fund a sports prosthesis for Olivier. They will also allow the offer of a discovery trip for visually impaired youth. These actions constitute the heart of the project. They give concrete meaning to the participants’ commitment throughout the week.
The approach is intended to be open and accessible. The goal is for everyone to be able to discover the atmosphere of the No Finish Line. The event offers a simple way to get involved: contribute through walking or running. The team continues to move forward maintaining a regular pace until the last day. To date, the No Finish Line Monaco has already covered over 110,000 km and aims for 325,000 km by Saturday.
