The 34th edition of the “Course du Coeur” will depart from Paris this Wednesday October 13, 2021 for 4 days of race between the capital city and Bourg St Maurice – les Arcs with one message… I say YES to organ donation! Do not miss the start of the race with many celebrities.

The Course du Coeur does it again and returns for the edition 2021 from Wednesday October 13 to Sunday 17. Departing from Paris, come and enjoy the start of the race that will make over 200 runners relay one another.

  • Over 3,200 meals served in inns, restaurants, baskets, by day and by night at the end of stages
