A solidary Marathon
The Mont-Blanc Marathon supports causes close to its heart!
Supporting patients and medical research
Through its solidarity bibs, the Mont-Blanc Marathon is committed to 3 organizations working to support patients and medical research:
- Vaincre les Maladies Lysosomales, a non-profit organization supporting the 3,000 French people affected by one of the 53 lysosomal diseases, rare genetic disorders that cause multiple disabilities.
- Trail Runners Against Muco, a non-profit organization based in Chamonix, which for over 20 years has been taking on extraordinary sporting challenges to raise funds for Vaincre la Mucoviscidose.
- Ultra Sports Science, a non-profit endowment fund that helps financing medical research into serious illnesses affecting athletes, to better understand and prevent them.
Buying a solidarity bib means you can register for one of the Mont-Blanc Marathon races without going through the draw, while making a direct donation to one of our partner organizations and raising awareness about an important cause.
In 2025, 125 solidarity bibs will be sold for the benefit of our 3 partners.
