The No Finish Line Nice 2026 brought together walkers, runners and volunteers in a spirit of solidarity and celebration. The event combined effort, activities and mobilization for projects benefiting children. A look back at this 8th edition which raised over €146,000!
After 98 hours of racing, the No Finish Line Nice 2026 ended this Sunday, April 12 at 4 p.m., supported by generally ideal weather and exceptional mobilization. Open to all, the event once again confirmed its place in the Azure Coast’s sports and solidarity landscape, attracting ever more participants. With 8,990 registered participants, more than 500 more than last year, this 8th edition broke all records, far exceeding the objective set at the beginning of the week.
Collective performances were impressive: 146,582 kilometers covered, with peaks reaching 3,000 km in a single hour. The 140,000 km objective was exceeded early afternoon, testifying to continuous mobilization day and night. Thanks to this total, €146,582 will be donated to fund around twenty projects for disadvantaged or sick children on the French Riviera, according to the event’s founding principle: 1 km = 1 euro.
On the sporting side, the 2026 edition will remain historic. Justine Houteer Magni won with an exceptional total of 582 km, becoming the first woman to win the NFL Nice across all categories since its creation in 2018, and smashing previous men’s and women’s records. Among the men, Ray Qi distinguished himself in his first participation with 501 km, ahead of Frédéric Ascone (433 km) and Cédric Chaudet (419 km). Teams also shone, with victory going to Running for Baptiste and its 12,035 km, ahead of Vicking (7,480 km) and PEP 06 (6,890 km). The stage is already set for spring 2027 for a 9th edition that promises to be equally ambitious.
