Solidarity

In addition to charity bibs, the Solidarity Commission of the Friends of UTMB Mont-Blanc supports other local associations through the 7 races. The funds raised are shared between these associations. At the time of registration, each runner has the opportunity to make a donation.

Since 1987, based on mutual aid, l’ARFEC – Association of families of children with cancer – aims to support and accompany families of children with cancer. We've all experienced the illness of one of our children, and we know what families need.

The aim of the association is to support and accompany the families of children with cancer during and after treatment. Childhood cancer is a long illness that affects the whole family, including parents and siblings.

The Fondation Communautaire du Val d'Aoste finances socially useful projects aimed at improving the quality of life in the Aosta Valley region. For 2025, two projects will be supported thanks to your generosity:

The Rete Doposcuola Lab project, which provides extracurricular activities for children and young people in difficulty.

The “YouthBank Vallée d’Aoste” project encourages civic engagement and active participation among young people.

The project for the use of Dons Coureurs 2025 brought together the six Rotary Clubs around Mont Blanc and enabled children with Down syndrome from three countries to meet with their families for a weekend in the mountains.

The idea is simple: a pair of shoes, a headlamp or trail bags that you no longer use and that are lying around in the back of your cupboard can make a huge difference to Nepalese athletes. Thanks to our partnership with Ram Puri, a Nepalese guide and runner, we can collect the equipment you no longer use when you collect your bib. Everything you donate will then be sent to Nepal and distributed to the local population.
