GOAL: TO SAVE CHILDREN WITH HEART CONDITIONS

Live the Experience, Coureurs du Cœur

Taking the starting line at the Étape du Tour with a charity bib is much more than just participating in a legendary race: it means joining the largest community of runners dedicated to charity for an unforgettable shared experience!

You’ll wear the iconic Coureurs du Coeur jersey, receive support from the organization throughout your training, and enjoy dedicated refreshments on race day.

But above all, you have an extra reason to get involved: to help us fund surgeries for many children with heart defects!

"L'Étape du Tour de France with a solidarity bib was a great human and sporting adventure. I loved raising funds and explaining the purpose of the project to the various people I met. Doing the adventure under the colors of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque was a real source of motivation during the event, which was really not easy! The volunteers and team were also a great help on the Croix de Fer pass! I'll remember it for a long time, full of intense emotions, between physical suffering and the joy of taking part for the children with heart attacks!"

Testimony Philippe_Etape du Tour

"Exerting yourself physically so that children can have a completely normal adult life through sport is exceptional. That's what motivated me the most personally."

"I didn't want to ride my bike stupidly with my head in the handlebars, I was pedaling for something. Unconsciously, you owe it to yourself to succeed and go all the way."

At the Heart of the Experience

Every year, hundreds of Coureurs du Cœur take the starting line of the Étape du Tour wearing a charity bib. They achieve not only a sporting feat but also a charitable one by raising funds together to save children with heart conditions.
