Foulées du Cortex

Each year, Les Foulées du Cortex, the connected challenge organized by the Paris Brain Institute, brings together everyone who wishes to take action in support of brain research through a physical or fun activity. Running, walking in the city or the forest, trekking, hiking, gardening… whatever the activity, every kilometer counts, as it is transformed into a pledged donation to support the Paris Brain Institute.

The principle is simple: 1 kilometer covered = €1 pledged donation for brain research. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, an occasional runner, or simply enjoy leisurely walks, everyone can take part!

Individuals or companies, with family or friends, the Paris Brain Institute invites you to join us from September 17 to 28, 2025, to help our researchers tackle one of the greatest challenges of this century: understanding how the brain works and fighting the diseases that affect it.

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, epilepsy, depression…

Together, over 12 days, let’s give fresh momentum to the groundbreaking research carried out at the Paris Brain Institute!
