La Nuit des Relais 2019: solidarity-based night race at Paris Grand Palais

If you missed the first editions of La Nuit des Relais, then, on Monday November 25, 2019 head to Paris Grand Palais from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. for the new and fourth edition of the race.

Solidarity-based race against violence against women, La Nuit des Relais is held by a charity supporting the Fondation des Femmes and in favor of the Fondation des Femmes.

Fondation des Femmes president Anne-Cécile Mailfert explains: “For all those that #MeToo of violence against women haven’t left indifferent, it’s the occasion to act concretely to make things better. So, let’s take the plunge and put on trainers!”

The concept? Building teams including 5 to 10 female or male participants (no more, no less) older than 18 years old and take part in an 8-minute relay race for 2 hours (from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.) within the wonderful building that the Grand Palais is. Prior to the race, each time would have collected €1000.
