October Pink 2026: a charity, family-friendly Color Run at Montmorency Sports Park

Colors, good vibes, and a pretty athletic challenge to tackle with family or friends: that’s what awaits you this Sunday, October 11, 2026 at the Nelson Mandela Sports Park in the town of Montmorency. As part of Pink October, and to support the fight against breast cancer, the city of Val-d’Oise invites us to take part in an unusual Color Run.

Young and old alike are invited to the starting line for two courses tailored to athletes of all ages. Whether you run, walk, crawl, or moonwalk, dive into this race organized to benefit the Ligue contre le cancer and the association Elise princesse courageuse. All funds raised will go toward supporting cancer research, as well as helping those affected by breast cancer.
