The streets of Metz's pedestrian plateau remain reserved for thousands of women for a good cause: they run with a pink T-shirt for the fight against breast cancer. Every year, "La Messine" grows in size and helps finance both research against the disease and support missions for those affected. It's up to you to complete a six-kilometer course through the city, all without a competitive spirit. You will find the baby messine, the mini messine or the mother-daughter challenge from 14 years old. A 100% feminine race that feels good... A beautiful initiative that gives back confidence and hope to all. Bravo !
