Les foulées du cortex

Paris Brain Institute connected challenge

Last update: 05/10/2024 Reading time: 1min

Launched in 2024, the Foulées du Cortex event brings together sportsmen and women and non-athletes around the same cause: research into the brain and related pathologies. Let's work together to advance brain research!

Every year, Les Foulées du cortex, Paris Brain Institute online challenge, brings together all those who wish to support the Institute and its research through a fun physical and/or sporting activity. Whether it's a run, a walk in town or in the forest, a trek, a hike, a gardening session... all the kilometres covered are converted into donations for Paris Brain Institute.

The Foulées du cortex, how does it work?

The Foulées du cortex, how does it work?

The Foulées du Cortex takes place over a period of around ten days and brings together all those, sports enthusiasts or not, who want to support Paris Brain Institute through a challenge linked to physical activity and sport.

The principle is simple: every kilometre you walk, run or do something else equals €1 donated to brain research. Whether you're an experienced sportsman, a weekend warrior or just enjoy a good walk, everyone can take part!

1 km walked = €1 for brain research

As the event's main partner, Crédit Mutuel Nord Europe is backing us by financing 35,000 km.
