Top Athletes and Celebrities to Race from Calvi to Monaco by Water Bike

The Calvi to Monaco Water Bike Challenge is set to make waves once again in the Mediterranean on September 6th and 7th, drawing spectators and participants to the scenic shores of Monaco. This unique competition involves five teams, each comprising four elite athletes and celebrities, battling the 180-kilometer stretch across the open sea from Calvi to Larvotto Beach. The aim is to complete the journey swiftly, testing both their physical endurance and teamwork.

Spearheaded by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, the event not only challenges the participants but also plays a crucial role in supporting the foundation's efforts against drowning and promoting sports. Since its shift from the original route from Nice to Monaco, the challenge has become a key fundraiser for the foundation’s various humanitarian initiatives.

Adding to the appeal of the event are the high-profile figures who join the challenge, bringing glamour and competitive spirit. Past races have seen the likes of Princess Charlene herself, Formula 1 stars David Coulthard and Felipe Massa, and other celebrities such as model Victoria Silvstedt and fighter Conor McGregor. With such names involved, the event not only highlights athletic prowess but also underscores the broader commitment to the foundation’s charitable causes.
