24 Heures Au Profit Du Telethon - Kingersheim 2026

24 Heures Au Profit Du Telethon is a 24-hour cycling event in Kingersheim, France, held to support the Téléthon. Cyclo Club Kingersheim organizes it with municipal assistance, and the event is part of the early-December Téléthon schedule. Participants meet at the Maison du Foot et du Vélo on Rue de l.Oranger; entry fees are modest for adults and free for those under 18. The road-ride option presents two marked routes: 35 km with approximately 150 m of elevation gain, or 52 km with approximately 220 m. Previous event descriptions also mention a cyclo-cross format and a 7 km walking course, indicating the event's origins include both cycling and walking, not just a single race type. A notable past objective was for participants collectively to cycle 40,000 km in 24 hours, the equivalent distance of one trip around the Earth.
