This solidarity race mobilizes thousands of people in 8 days, on the 1086 m Fontvieille circuit. The main objective driving the sporting endurance of the participants was to collect the most euros thanks to the kilometers traveled, to finance projects intended to help improve ill or disadvantaged children.

The weather, that was mild throughout the race, affected the safety of the circuit at the start of the week due to violent gusts of wind, forcing the closing of the circuit for 11 consecutive hours (Tuesday November 14, 19:30 till Wednesday, November 15, at 7:00).

Mission accomplished for the 24th NFL!

The objective of 300,000 km was surpassed Sunday morning at 10:50. and the number of participants increased.
