15 April 2025: top start for the second edition of the Cortex Foulées. From September 17 to 28, take part in our connected and supportive challenge to advance brain research. Whether you are a running enthusiast, walking enthusiast or dancer, this challenge is for you.
After the success of the first edition, the Foulées du Cortex will return in 2025 with the support of a new committed sponsor: Ophélie MEUNIER, journalist and animator, who has chosen to support this initiative for the benefit of neuroscience research.
Supporting brain research means supporting the hopes of millions of individuals and families. The Foulées du Cortex are a very nice way to engage, in a simple and collective way.
A Challenge Open to All
Open to all, whatever your level, this challenge allows you to accumulate kilometres at your pace for 12 days. Each entry is another step in supporting research in neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Thanks to a dedicated application, each participant will be able to follow his progress and contribute to the ranking, especially as a team. Whether you want to go above and beyond or simply participate in a collective mobilization, every kilometre counts.
For this 2nd edition, Paris Brain Institute can count on the support of Sagemcom as a partner of the Foulées du Cortex 2025. Since brain research is everyone’s business, Sagemcom directly funds the miles travelled by the dozens of researchers involved in the operation. Thanks to our partner, each of these kilometres becomes an engine of progress and becomes a concrete advance for brain research. Thanks to Sagemcom for that valuable support!
The Foulées du Cortex bring together all the values to which we are committed: the fight against sedentary living, the valorization of individual effort for the benefit of the collective, healthy competition, a sense of solidarity, and all this for the benefit of scientists who advance research within Paris Institute of Brain, created around these same values. We support this operation with pride and great motivation!
A challenge to live in business
The Foulées du Cortex are also a great opportunity for companies to mobilize around an impact project. By forming a team in the colours of your organisation, you mobilise your employees in a collective, accessible and solidarity-based dynamic.
