Re-Start

Strasbourg Europe Association of Races (ACSE) invites runners to participate in the "Re-Start" endurance race on September 11 and 12, 2026. This unique long-distance running event is centered around mental health awareness and challenges participants with a repetitive course covering seven kilometers.
The Re-Start 24-hour format begins at 8:00 PM on Friday, September 11th and continues until 8:00 PM the following day, or when all runners have been eliminated. Each hour, new waves of runners join the race, creating a dynamic atmosphere as participants push their limits over identical stretches of road.
For those looking for a shorter challenge, ACSE also offers the Re-Start 12-hour format starting at 8:00 AM on Saturday, September 12th and concluding after twelve hours or when all runners have been eliminated. Both events feature hourly departures to ensure continuous action throughout their duration.
The race takes place in Strasbourg, a city known for its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage. Runners will traverse familiar yet challenging seven-kilometer loops that test endurance through repetition. The event aims not only to raise awareness about mental health but also to foster community spirit among runners who support each other throughout the grueling hours.
Participants can look forward to an invigorating experience amidst Strasbourg's vibrant backdrop, where every lap offers a fresh perspective and renewed determination. Whether you're aiming for personal bests or simply seeking to contribute to a meaningful cause, Re-Start promises an unforgettable journey through endurance and solidarity.
The event is organized by ACSE with the goal of promoting mental health awareness while celebrating athletic perseverance in one of Europe's most charming cities.
