Since April 8 and until the 12th, the 8th edition of No Finish Line Nice is taking place. An intergenerational and inclusive charity event where everyone can come to participate day and night and try to cover as many kilometers as possible in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
The principle is simple, each kilometer covered equals one euro donated to a fund that will finance projects for children. Last year, part of the donations was used to purchase childcare equipment adapted for people with disabilities, as well as sports equipment and summer camps for young people. Last year, 132,000 km were completed, allowing 132,000 euros to be raised. This year, the goal is 140,000 km for this 2026 edition. On the second day of the race, participants had already surpassed the 75,000 km mark.
To register, simply go to the venue. Each participant receives a badge that records their kilometers covered. Budget 15 euros for adults, 12 euros for students and 6 euros for children. You can follow the number of kilometers covered in real time on the No Finish Line website.
Volunteers on site take care of organizing the event in good spirits and enjoy with participants the spring weather and beautiful setting, as the race takes place on the Quai des États-Unis, in the majestic setting of the Promenade des Anglais. Participants can enjoy snacks and music there. Changing rooms, toilets and water points are also available, as well as a first aid station, to ensure the safety of athletes and smooth running of the race.
An event open to all until Sunday at 4 p.m.
Hélène Verdier, organizer of No Finish Line since the first edition eight years ago, describes this event as “intergenerational and inclusive.” Anyone can walk the circuit, at any time, run or walk, alone or in groups. “The success lies in the fact that it is open to everyone,” she emphasizes.
In partnership with the association ALC (Acting for Social Connection and Citizenship), the race promotes the inclusion of people with disabilities. While some see it as a sporting challenge, others see it as an opportunity to help children and contribute to a charitable cause.
Hélène Verdier invites those who are still hesitant to come and try the experience: “try it and you’ll love it!“ she says enthusiastically. “It’s a wonderful adventure, with a lot of solidarity among participants and organizers. It creates mutual support, with magical moments that happen there.”
You have about thirty hours left (until Sunday at 4 p.m., Editor’s note) to do your part by walking or running for a good cause.
