The 27th edition of the No Finish Line Monaco will take place from November 14 to 22, 2026 around the Fontvieille Marquee. For eight days and eight nights, walkers and runners will be able to accumulate kilometers, converted into donations for projects supporting sick children or those in precarious situations. Basketball player Yakuba Ouattara will be the godfather of this edition.
Since 1999, the No Finish Line Monaco combines sport and solidarity. In 27 editions, the event organized by the Children & Future association has brought together more than 203,000 walkers and runners. In total, 5,498,062 kilometers have been covered, allowing 5,823,869 euros to be donated to projects for sick or underprivileged children.
For this new edition, the goal remains to mobilize as many participants as possible. In 2025, 375,245 kilometers were counted. Organizers hope to exceed this result thanks to the participation of both regulars and newcomers.
This year, basketball player Yakuba Ouattara becomes the godfather of Children & Future. The player is committing alongside the association to support the actions taken in favor of children.
Eight days to transform kilometers into donations
The start will be on Saturday, November 14 at 2 p.m. The race will continue without interruption until Sunday, November 22 at 2 p.m., making eight days and eight nights. The circuit, which is 1,140 meters long, will be set up around the Fontvieille Marquee, in Monaco.
The principle is accessible to everyone. Each participant can walk or run at their own pace, for as long as they choose. A chip makes it possible to count the kilometers covered. For each kilometer recorded, Children & Future donates one euro to projects aimed at improving the living conditions of children supported by the association.
About thirty volunteers will ensure the organization and assistance throughout the event. Permanent refreshments and water stations will also be offered to participants, with the support of the event’s partners.
Several formats will allow people to participate in the race. A new 12-hour event will make its debut on Thursday, November 19, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Participants can register individually or form relay teams of two to four runners. Registration will be open until November 15 at 6 p.m.
The 24-hour Trophy will then take place from Friday, November 20 at 8 p.m. to Saturday, November 21 at 8 p.m. This event will be accessible individually or in relay teams of two to six runners. The registration deadline is also set for November 15 at 6 p.m.
The most experienced can also participate in the eight-day event. About forty runners specialized in ultra-endurance will start on November 14 at 2 p.m. Some have been participating in the event since its creation. Records remain to be broken: 1,041 kilometers for men, achieved in 2012, 928 kilometers for women, set in 2025, and 27,512 kilometers for a team, in 2018.
Throughout the week, musical and sports activities and entertainment for children will round out the program. The goal is to make this event a meeting point open to all generations, beyond sporting performance alone.
Individual registrations are available online on the Children & Future website until November 22. On-site registration will also be possible at the Fontvieille Marquee, starting Saturday, November 14 at 10 a.m. Teams must make a pre-registration on the association‘s website, before paying their participation when collecting their chips.
The individual rate is set at 16 euros for an adult, to which 10 euros deposit for the chip is added, making 26 euros in total. For children over 10 years old, registration costs 9 euros, with a deposit of 10 euros, making 19 euros. Animals can also participate, at the rate of 16 euros to which the 10-euro deposit is added. Registration remains valid for the entire duration of the race.
Chip collection is organized at the Children & Future office, at Patio Palace, 41 avenue Hector Otto, from October 26 to November 12. From November 14, participants will be able to collect them directly at the registration desk set up at the Fontvieille Marquee.
With this new edition, the No Finish Line Monaco intends to continue its commitment to children. Each lap of the circuit will contribute to financing solidarity initiatives, with a principle that has remained unchanged since 1999: making each kilometer covered into one euro donated to those who need it.
