The story

Relais pour la Vie Luxembourg in Luxembourg City/Coque

Relais pour la Vie is a 24-hour solidarity relay held at the Coque, Luxembourg City's national sports and cultural center, organized by the Fondation Cancer. Teams of 24 to 48 people take turns walking or running in relay through the full day and night, with as many as 300 teams taking part and an online or remote participation option for those who cannot attend in person. Funds raised support cancer research, prevention and patient care.

The Coque, Luxembourg City's national sports and cultural center, spends most of the year hosting swimming, athletics and public fitness activity, but once a year the Fondation Cancer turns it into the stage for Relais pour la Vie, a relay built entirely around shared endurance rather than individual achievement.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event's defining feature is endurance shared across a team rather than an individual challenge: because relay teams of 24 to 48 people rotate walkers and runners, the 24-hour format stays accessible to people of very different fitness levels, from competitive runners to those who simply want to complete a lap in support of someone affected by cancer

02

The mystery stays covered

Hosting it at the Coque gives the relay a large indoor and outdoor sports venue able to accommodate up to 300 teams at once, while the added option to participate remotely or online extends the event beyond people who can physically travel to Luxembourg City, widening the circle of people raising money for the Fondation Cancer's research, prevention and patient-support programs
