ZEvent to hold final charity marathon in Montpellier in 2026

The ZEvent, a major internet charity marathon, will hold its tenth and final edition from September 4 to 6, 2026, in Montpellier, France. Co-created by Adrien ‘ZeratoR’ Nougaret and Alexandre ‘Dach’ Dachary, the event is concluding because organizers feel the format has reached its peak.

The final marathon will feature approximately 90 streamers on-site in Montpellier and over 200 participating remotely via Twitch. The event aims to support 22 different associations, including Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Ligue contre le cancer.

To launch the festivities, a large concert is scheduled for September 3 at the Sud de France Arena, featuring artists such as Gims, Gazo, and Bigflo & Oli. Participating streamers, including figures like Baghera Jones, Domingo, and Samuel Etienne, have established various ‘donation goals’—specific challenges or activities triggered by reaching certain fundraising milestones—to encourage viewer contributions.
