After eight days of racing, the 2025 No Finish Line concluded in the presence of Prince Albert II, who completed the final lap, on Sunday 23 November at 2 p.m.
The event’s first weekend saw stormy weather, but in spite of this, participants came out in large numbers and performed exceptionally well.
“This 2025 charity race was a record-breaking edition, with results comparable to those of 2015 (one of the record years before COVID),” said the organizers of No Finish Line in a recent press release.
This year’s edition had the ambitious goal of covering 325,000 km and raising €325,000 with 14,000 participants. And those goals were surpassed! Participants covered 375,245 km, which means €375,245 will be donated to fund around twenty projects for sick or disadvantaged children. That’s over €50,000 more than the goal! And 14,440 participants registered, or 440 more than the target.

“This was Justine Houteer Magni’s first participation in the NFL Monaco…exceptional!” said NFL organizers.
