Over two days, the event will combine sport, solidarity and a lively village atmosphere, but it will also mean notable changes to traffic across the Principality.
Six formats, elite names and a solidarity focus
This year’s programme features six race formats: the 30km Trail du Mont Agel, City Trail, 10km, 5km, 1,000m children’s races and the Pink Ribbon Walk.
Participants can also opt for a solidarity bib, with donations supporting four local charities, including Pink Ribbon Monaco and Fondation Flavien.
A race village on the port
The heart of the event will be the Running Expo Village, set up on Quai Albert Ier.
Open from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning, it will host partners, entertainment and bib collection.
To allow for its installation, Quai Albert Ier has been closed to traffic since Wednesday and will remain inaccessible until Sunday afternoon.
Parking has also been suspended in several port areas since midweek.
Sunday brings the biggest disruptions
While short closures are planned on Saturday morning around Quai des États-Unis, Route de la Piscine and Darse Sud, Sunday will see wider restrictions.
Between 8.30am and late morning, key roads including Avenue J.-F. Kennedy and Boulevard Louis II will be closed, with traffic also affected around Portier and Larvotto roundabouts.
On Avenue Princesse Grace, vehicles will circulate alternately under supervision when possible.
Additional parking bans are in place across several areas, and bus routes will be adjusted on Sunday morning.
Residents and visitors are advised to check routes in advance and allow extra time for travel during race hours.
