Teams in Bordeaux must raise a minimum of €500 before participating in La Nuit des Relais, a 6 km evening relay focused on fundraising. The race supports efforts against violence toward women and aids associations in Nouvelle Aquitaine. It begins with a welcome at 6 PM. Teams consist of three to five people, with each runner registering and purchasing their own bib.
Participants may run or walk the relay at their own pace, making the event accessible to friends, colleagues, families, companies, associations, and local citizens, not exclusively regular racers. Fundraising is integrated into the event; teams receive a guide for soliciting donations from their networks, and suggestions like bake sales or dedicated Instagram accounts are encouraged. The evening also features entertainment, food areas, and an association village where participants can connect with the groups benefiting from the donations.
