Course Solidaire Maison de Protection des Familles de LAVAL 2027

The Course Solidaire Maison de Protection des Familles de Laval is a charity run in Laval, Mayenne, France. It takes place in early March, near Women’s Rights Day, starting at 10 AM, to support individuals affected by domestic violence. The Maison de protection des familles, a specialized unit of the departmental gendarmerie focused on protecting vulnerable individuals, organizes the event. The race starts at the Bois de l’Huisserie in Laval and features two symbolic distances: 3.919 km, referencing the French domestic-violence helpline 3919, and 8 km, associated with Women’s Rights Day. Proceeds benefit Les Possible, a local association assisting domestic violence victims. The inaugural event attracted over 700 participants, offering both in-person and virtual options, aligning with the event’s aim to raise public awareness and foster community engagement alongside its athletic component.
