Thousands of runners and walkers are expected to take part in Monaco’s No Finish Line when the annual charity event gets underway this Saturday, November 14, raising funds for projects supporting sick and disadvantaged children.
The 27th edition, organised by Children & Future under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, will open at 14:00 at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille and continue non-stop until 14:00 on Sunday, November 22.
The event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, whether they prefer running or walking, and allows them to take part individually or as members of a team. There is no minimum distance or required pace, with participants free to complete as many laps as they wish throughout the eight days and eight nights.

The charitable concept remains at the heart of the initiative: for every kilometre covered, Children & Future donates €1 towards projects benefiting children who are sick or disadvantaged. Funding is supported through registrations, donations and sponsorship.
Participants will follow a circuit of approximately 1.1 kilometres around the Fontvieille venue, with an electronic timing chip recording each completed lap. The course will remain accessible around the clock throughout the event.
Several additional endurance challenges will feature in this year’s programme. The 12-hour race will take place on Thursday, November 19, running from 09:00 until 21:00. The 24-hour Trophy will begin at 20:00 on Friday, November 20, and finish at 20:00 on Saturday, November 21. Competitors can enter individually or in relay teams of up to six people.
A separate eight-day challenge will also test the endurance of participants taking on the full duration of the event.
Although online pre-registration has now closed, individual participants can still sign up at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille from 10:00 on Saturday, November 14. Standard registration costs €16 for adults and €9 for children aged 10 and under, with an additional refundable €10 timing-chip deposit.
Those interested in taking part can find further information through the official Children & Future registration website.
Since its creation in 1999, No Finish Line has become one of Monaco’s best-known annual charity events, combining mass participation in sport with a fundraising effort that turns every kilometre into support for children in need.
