Introduction: What is Relais pour la Vie?
Every year, thousands of people come together for Relais pour la Vie, a 24-hour relay event that sends a powerful message of support, solidarity, and strength to cancer patients, survivors, and their families.
As we approach Relais pour la Vie 2025, it’s important to spread the word and encourage participation from everyone in the community.
Organised by Fondation Cancer Luxembourg, this event is more than just a race—it’s a movement. It’s a reminder that cancer doesn’t stop at night, and neither does our support.
To say it’s the event of the year would be an understatement. The entire nation of Luxembourg rallies together to show their support during this 24-hour display of love, strength and absolute devotion. Trust us, this is definitely that No. 1 event you do not want to miss out on! So save the date and brace yourselves for a roller-coaster of emotions. There will be strong moments so prepare the tissues, but there are also high-energy waves of overwhelming support and fun, and guaranteed laughs (the costume laps are definite must-watch moments!).

Why ALGSO is Participating
💙 We move together. We heal together. That’s not just our motto—it’s what we believe in.
As Luxembourg’s very first oncology sports association, ALGSO (l’Association Luxembourgeoise des Groupes Sportifs Oncologiques a.s.b.l.) is dedicated to promoting movement as a tool for recovery before, during, and after cancer treatment.
This is not just a relay for us—it’s personal. Every single one of our team members has been affected by cancer in some way. Some are survivors. Some are still battling. Some are running for those they’ve lost.
So why do we run, walk, and cycle at Relais pour la Vie?
We believe that staying active is a key part of the battle against cancer. And Relais pour la Vie is the perfect way to show the world what we stand for.
How to Prepare for Relais pour la Vie
👟 What to Wear & Bring
The energy at Relais pour la Vie is electrifying, and you’ll want to be comfortable while participating!
⚠️ Note: All Team ALGSO participants should head to our assigned bleachers (see map below) where they will find an envelope containing the necessary Fondation Cancer Bracelets (aka. your pass to the track), which our team captains will have lovingly collected for you.
As this is a relay, each team will have 1 race number, which will be passed on from participant to participant at the end/start of each slot.
💡 Hot Tip: Even if you’re not running, wear comfortable shoes! There’s a lot to explore at the event, and the energy will have you moving all day long.
