A Celebration of Adventure, Sport and Charitable Sharing
Beyond the sporting challenge, La Boucle de l’Étoile is also a partner in the fight against cancer, offering the opportunity to walk the Trek to all patients in remission. A moment of resilience, but also of sharing, with the whole family of La Boucle de l’Étoile runners.
