Monaco Run Returns: Six Races, One Iconic Circuit on the Riviera

Monaco is preparing to welcome runners from around the world for Monaco Run, a three-day running festival combining performance, spectacle and Riviera-style atmosphere along one of the most iconic urban circuits in Europe.

The event hub will be set up on Quai Albert Ier, transforming the Port of Monaco into a chic and high-energy race village featuring athlete services, refreshment zones and official timing airlocks for the 5km and 10km races.

Six Races, Six Ways to Experience Monaco

Monaco Run offers six distinct events, catering to elite competitors, recreational runners and participants seeking a more festive and charitable experience. Courses guide athletes through hidden alleyways, green parks, city heights and sweeping Mediterranean panoramas.

Runners will tackle open-road routes that pass through some of the Principality’s most recognisable locations, including the legendary Sainte Dévote bend, before returning to fast, rolling port-side loops where elite athletes push for personal bests.

A Race With a Cause

Alongside the competitive events, participants can join the Pink March, a fun and accessible walk organised in support of a charitable cause, allowing non-runners to take part in the Monaco Run experience while contributing to social impact.

Why Monaco Run Stands Out

• Winter sunshine on the Riviera: A February race setting with sea views and mild Mediterranean conditions

• Elite-level spectacle: Professional athletes competing alongside amateur runners

• Fast, rolling courses: Designed for strong performances and personal records

With its blend of sport, scenery and celebration, Monaco Run continues to position the Principality as a premier destination for international running events.
