Charity running events in France

Overview

Various charity running events have been organized in France to support medical research and social causes.

In June 2026, the #BougeTonCerveau race in Paris raised funds for the Fondation Vaincre Alzheimer’s to support programs for Alzheimer’s and neurocognitive disorders. Later, in September 2026, the town of Foucarmont hosted the “Courons pour Prader-Willi” race, with proceeds benefiting Prader-Willi France to fund research and support for the rare genetic disorder.

Additionally, the thirteenth edition of the Courir en Tête event was scheduled for September 4, 2026, in Brumath. Organized by EPSAN, this solidarity event aims to promote social inclusion and raise funds for mental health initiatives while working to destigmatize mental illness.
