Are you familiar with the Night of Relays? It's more than just a sporting event—it's a charity race and a lively celebration all rolled into one. If you're passionate about sports and eager to make a difference, this is one event you won't want to miss! For this upcoming edition, the Night of Relays will take place on Wednesday, April 8th, 2026, marking its first-ever run within the stunning grounds of the Paris Floral Park.
Charity run against violence towards women — the Nuit des Relais is organized by the Fondation des Femmes. This lively race offers a powerful platform to raise awareness and generate funds to support grassroots organizations working to advance women’s rights and combat the violence they face, explains Anne-Cécile Mailfert, President of the Fondation des Femmes, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
The concept? Form teams of 5 to 10 people, men or women over 18, and take turns running relay-style for 1.5 hours along a loop. Before participating, each team must raise at least €1,000 in donations, in addition to the €30 registration fee per person. This race is open to everyone: whether you want to run or walk at your own pace.
Since 2016, the Nuit des Relais has raised €1.5 million, supporting thousands of women and numerous charitable initiatives. Looking for an extra push to get motivated for this race? Several awards are up for grabs for participating teams, including prizes for the most donations, the best atmosphere, the most creative costumes, and the highest collection total...
There will also be concerts, sporting challenges, entertainment, a village of associations, a bar and food trucks. So there's nothing but good reasons to take part in this Nuit des Relais!
