Paris Half Marathon 2026: one race, one life saved 

On 8 March 2026, 31 VINCI Energies Coureurs du Coeur took part in the Paris Half Marathon sporting the colours of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.

This March, for the second consecutive year, VINCI Energies employees ran the Paris Half Marathon in support of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque. Over the 21.1 kilometres between Boulevard SaintGermain and the Place de la Bastille, the VINCI Energies Coureurs du Coeur had set themselves a target over and above their personal performance: to finance a vital operation for a child with a heart defect, via the charity bibs sponsored by their business units.  

Through their collective commitment, the VINCI Energies Coureurs du Coeur team helped to save Tianah, a 12-year-old girl with the congenital heart defect tricuspid atresia, who received care and surgery with Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque. 

Since 2017, VINCI Energies has been supporting Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque, a charity that brings children with heart defects to France, Switzerland and Belgium for surgery when the medical and financial resources may not be available in their home countries.
