Bibs for health and the environment

The purchase of a solidarity, environment or health bib is an opportunity for runners to guarantee their entry in one of the Mont Blanc Marathon races, while contributing to a useful and impactful project.

The funds raised by these bibs contribute directly to the support of solidarity initiatives.

All 2024 solidarity, health and environment bibs are now sold out.

Help Chamonix's young athletes carry out extraordinary projects!

Since 2016, the Club des Sports de Chamonix has been offering solidarity bibs to fund exceptional projects for children in sports sections.

In 2024, 140 solidarity bibs (spread over the Duo Etoilé, 42km, 23km and 90km du Mont-Blanc) were offered, raising €70,000 divided between 13 sections to help the club's youngsters carry out their sporting projects.

Korean martial arts: team-building course in Germany.
Climbing: Alpine traverse from Chamonix to Innsbruck (Austria).
Trip to Buis les Baronnies:

"Many thanks to the runners who bought a solidarity bib!

Without you, the 19 young climbers from the Club des Sports de Chamonix climbing section would not have been able to make their incredible trip to Buis les Baronnies.

13 of the climbers, aged between 8 and 10, were traveling for the 1st time with the club outside the valley, and were discovering climbing in a natural environment. The other 6 were older teenagers, at the start of their journey towards a climbing diploma. The trip gave these teenagers their first experience of supervision, as they helped the climbing instructors to supervise the younger climbers.

The trip also raised the group's awareness of the ecology of local cliffs and how to climb in a way that respects local wildlife."

Soccer: "Copa Maresme" tournament on the Costa Brava.
Field hockey: "Easter Cup" tournament in the Czech Republic.

"Following the 2 trips to Garmisch, which were made possible thanks to the Marathon's solidarity bibs, the Club has forged relationships with the field hockey club and the Garmisch secondary school to hopefully enable future exchanges and sporting encounters. The event was a great success and we hope to continue building our friendship over the coming years."
Swimming: intensive course in Piombino, Italy.
Ski jumping: course and exchange with a ski jumping club in Einsideln (Switzerland).
Alpine skiing: zero-carbon ambition course in Zermatt (Switzerland).
Cross-country skiing: physical preparation course in Planica (Slovenia).
Snowboard: multi-slide cohesion course and skateboard challenge in Sallanches.
Tennis: tour of Aix-en-Provence.
Mountain biking: team-building course in Auvergne.

Support medical research and patient care!

Vaincre les Maladies Lysosomales (Overcoming Lysosomal Diseases)

Since 2013, the Mont Blanc Marathon has been associated with the association Vaincre les Maladies Lysosomales, recognized as a public utility, which enables all those affected by one of the 60 lysosomal diseases to make their voices heard and mutualize investment in scientific and medical research.

VML's mission is based on one ultimate goal: the cure of people suffering from a lysosomal disease. The association has therefore set itself three missions to benefit as many people as possible:

To advance research and improve access to care;
To provide certified and appropriate scientific and medical information;
Support and help families in their adaptation to illness and disability.

In 2024, the Mont-Blanc Marathon offered 56 race numbers in aid of VML, divided between the Duo Etoilé, 10km, 23km, 42km and 90km Mont-Blanc races.

Trail Runners Against Muco

The Mont Blanc Marathon has joined forces with Trail Runners Against Muco in the fight against cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that mainly affects the respiratory and digestive systems.

For over 20 years, the Chamonix-based association Trail Runners Against Muco has been taking on sporting challenges to raise funds for Vaincre la Mucovicidose. These challenges can be virtual, such as crossing the American continent in 2014 (€22,950 raised), or real, such as taking part in the Mont-Blanc 23km in 2023 (€23,546 raised).

Their motto: "Let's give our breath to those who lack it, and together let's win life!"

By supporting Vaincre La Mucoviscidose, Trail Runners Against Muco contributes to the following objectives:

Raise funds to support medical and scientific research aimed at finding more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for cystic fibrosis,
Improve patients' quality of life by offering them appropriate support, helping them to manage their disease on a day-to-day basis, and providing them with social and psychological support.
Increase awareness and inform the general public about the disease and its challenges.

In 2024, the Mont-Blanc Marathon offered 20 bibs for TRAMUCO, spread over the Duo Etoilé, the 23km, the 42km and the 90km of the Mont-Blanc.

Ultra Sports Science

The Mont Blanc Marathon has teamed up with Ultra Sports Science to support medical research into ultra-endurance sports.

Created in 2015, Ultra Sports Science aims to:

Raise funds to set up international medical research,
Transmit the results of this research to athletes, scientists, doctors, organizers and sports federations,
Implement a health policy to prevent doping.

In 2024, the Mont Blanc Marathon offered 32 health bibs to support of Ultra Sports Science, spread over the 90km, 42km and 23km.

Help preserve our environment!

Since the creation of the Cross du Mont-Blanc in 1979, the Club des Sports de Chamonix has been working to offer quality races while limiting their impact on the environment.

Today, more than ever, climate and environmental issues are at the very heart of our concerns. Through the sale of environmental bibs, our aim is to be part in an ecological movement that goes beyond the sphere of our event and have a positive impact on the planet.

In 2024, we offered 35 environmental bibs, spread across the Duo Etoilé, 23km, 42km and 90km Mont-Blanc races.

For runners, it's an opportunity to guarantee their entry in one of the Mont Blanc Marathon races while helping to preserve our ecosystems. The funds raised through these donations will contribute directly to financing environmental initiatives.

The Club des Sports de Chamonix is a non-profit association under the French Law of 1901. The association can provide proof of donation to lighten the tax burden. In France, the donor benefits from a tax deduction of 66% of the amount donated, up to a limit of 20% of taxable income.
