Running is an individual sport, but who says it's individualistic? Organizers, volunteers, and runners are more than regularly on the solidarity front. Many races are thus dedicated to a charitable cause.
Whether it's on a walk, a road race or a trail, in France or abroad, a plethora of so-called charitable or solidarity races stop the race against time and pure performance. No more clenched jaws, make way for smiles 😊. Become a smiling runner! Here, the stopwatch ⏱ serves a good cause, on all terrains and in all seasons. In the mountains or in the forest, in the city or in nature, charitable races are everywhere, and that's a good thing! You will find all types of terrain, depending on your geographic choice. Brittany will offer you its marine scenery, the Jura its majestic curves, the North its culture and legendary hospitality... In terms of mindset, these events are particularly suited for running with family 👨👩👦👦 or your best friends. What will you say about blocking the dates now for the charitable races you absolutely want to participate in?
So let's turn a bit towards the calendar of charitable races. Runners 🏃🏼♂️ as well as walkers 🚶🏼♀ are concerned. October, traditionally dedicated worldwide to the fight against breast cancer, is the month richest in the year in terms of solidarity races. Road runners are particularly fond of the 20 km de Paris where each registration partially benefits the Institut Curie. The Run in Lyon by Harmonie Mutuelle is sensitive to the environmental cause. A partnership with the Restos du Cœur is in place for this very popular race. Walkers and trail fans are not left out and can already register for the Festival des Templiers (Aveyron). Its event "La Belle de Millau" supports the Ligue contre le Cancer. In Nantes, the everyday super heroes 🦸♀️ of the Odyssea Nantes (walk and road race) run to fight cancer and support research. In London 🏴, the London Winter Run also runs against cancer.
The more, the merrier, right? Not just 👥.
The more of us believe in it, the more we all smile together.
