About the Event

Join a landmark tradition of solidarity and sport at the 2026 edition of Courir pour la Vie (Run for Life), taking place on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Organized for three decades by the Lions Club Saint Vincent de Châlons-en-Champagne, this charitable sporting event unites the community to support a vital mission. Every stride taken and every registration fee collected contributes directly to the "Enfants Cancer Santé Grand Est" association, providing essential funding for children's cancer research and healthcare support across the region.

The 2026 program offers a diverse range of distances set in the heart of Châlons-en-Champagne. Competitive runners can take on the 10 km or 5 km courses (open to those born in 2010 or earlier), while the 3 km race provides a perfect mid-distance challenge for participants born in 2014 or before. For those looking to foster professional camaraderie, the event features a dedicated "Corporate & Collective Challenge," inviting local businesses to compete as teams for a shared cause. Younger athletes are also central to the day’s energy, with tailored youth races ranging from 1 km to 1.2 km for the next generation of charity runners.

With the technical expertise of the COCAA (Club Olympique Champagne Argonne Athlétisme) and the support of the City, participants can expect a professionally managed race with a heart of gold. Online registrations close on Friday, March 27, but last-minute runners can still sign up on-site during the weekend. Whether you are running for a personal best or simply to support the fight against pediatric cancer, Courir pour la Vie is an unmissable highlight of the spring season. Run with purpose, race for life!
