Monaco Welcomes Grit and Generosity with 4x4x48 Run Challenge
Starting Friday, April 11 at 8 p.m., Monaco will host the 4x4x48 Run Challenge, an endurance event with a charitable twist, in support of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.
Inspired by ultramarathoner and former Navy SEAL David Goggins, the challenge invites participants to run 6.5 kilometers every 4 hours over a 48-hour period—amounting to 12 races in total.
While the format may be simple, the physical and mental test is anything but. Runners of all levels are welcome to take part in as many or as few runs as they like, alternating between two scenic routes in the Principality.
Key Details
- The event starts Friday, April 11 at 8 p.m. and continues until Sunday.
- Participants run 6.5 km every 4 hours for 48 hours—12 races in total.
- Open to runners of all levels; you can join one, several, or all runs.
- All proceeds go to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, supporting drowning prevention and sport-based education for children.
- A €100 donation includes a limited edition t-shirt and a celebratory drink at the end of the challenge.
Every leg of the challenge begins and ends in front of the Foundation’s headquarters at 4 Quai Antoine 1er.
This unique event offers more than a test of stamina; it’s a chance to unite for a noble cause while enjoying the thrill of personal achievement. Registration is open through the official 4x4x48 MONACO 2025 page, and donations can be made directly to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.
Participants are encouraged to give what they can to support this important cause. The funds raised will go towards the Sport & Education projects of the Foundation.
