The event raises money to help underprivileged children and hoped to raise 230,000 euros this year having already raised over a million in previous. The format of the race is simple – anyone can buy a chip and walk or run as many kms as they want to. Each 1km is matched by the sponsoring bank with a euro. The 1356 m course is on the new promenade of Port Hercule.
This year No Finish Line exceeded its goals with 275,000 km being run by over 8,700 participants – up 2000 on last year making the course very busy at times.
No Finish Line 2012 is patronised by HSH Princess Stephanie of Monaco who is the official sponsor.
