The 26th edition of No Finish Line Monaco closed on Sunday, November 23 with a landmark moment for the charity race, as Justine Houteer Magni stormed to victory with a performance that will be hard to top. Launched eight days earlier by Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene and wrapped up in the presence of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, the event drew huge crowds and delivered numbers not seen since its pre-pandemic peak in 2015.
A total of 14,440 participants took part—comfortably beating the target of 14,000—and together logged an extraordinary 375,245 kilometres. As ever, each kilometre translated into one euro for children’s projects, bringing the 2025 fundraising total to 375,245 euros. The initiative has now generated more than 5 million euros since its inception in 1999.
But it was Houteer Magni who defined this year’s edition. Covering 928 kilometres, she not only claimed the Prince’s Cup but became the first woman ever to win No Finish Line Monaco outright. Her distance sets a new women’s record, surpassing Sarah Barnett’s long-standing 924 km benchmark from 2011, and placed her ahead of the entire men’s field.
The women’s podium was completed by Marie-Laure Roussel with 784 km, earning the Government Cup, and Paola Coccato with 681 km, recipient of the National Council Cup. In the men’s standings, Andreas Michalitz topped the category with 845 km, followed closely by Christian Stolowitz (843 km) and Philippe Pollesel (829 km). Carabiniers Fight Aids Monaco emerged as the best-performing team with 14,189 km, while Special Olympics Monaco led the associations with 10,396 km.
The 24-hour non-stop race, held from Saturday, November 22 to Sunday,November 23, was another strong success, attracting 213 athletes across solo and relay entries. Runners clocked a combined 17,801 km. Fabien Majet won the men’s individual category with 199 km, while Virginia Oliveri dominated the women’s field with 190 km. Monaco Telecom 2 topped the relay rankings with 296 km.
With records smashed and participation surging, No Finish Line Monaco bows out on a high and will return from November 14 to November 22, 2026—already aiming to push the limits once again in support of the children who benefit from the event’s fundraising.
