Bio-Rad Employees Make Impact at Paris Heroes Race
July 8, 2025
At Bio-Rad, we are committed to supporting various causes that impact our local communities around the world. This year, our France sites in Gémenos, Marnes-la-Coquette, Mitry-Mory, and Steenvoorde are rallying around a number of local charity races, including the Course des Héros Paris (Paris Heroes Race).
The Course des Héros Paris 2025
The starting gun was fired at 10 a.m. on June 15 at the Parc de Saint-Cloud in Paris, with 18 Bio-Rad employees from Marnes-la-Coquette and Mitry-Mory taking part. The Course des Héros Paris is an inter-company solidarity challenge benefitting local hospitals in the Paris area. The event included a 5K walk or run, without timing, in a friendly atmosphere accessible to all.
Charline Henry, an International Instrumentation Specialist for Bio-Rad, says she participated in the race to help support an important cause with her colleagues. “The Course des Héros is much more than a 5K race — it's an opportunity to get some exercise for a cause we care about, in a great atmosphere!” says Charline. “Running to save lives gives meaning to every step. And sharing this moment with colleagues brings us closer together, lifts our spirits and, honestly, it feels good!”
The Course des Héros Paris 2025 saw:
- More than 5,400 participants
- More than 200 companies and associations mobilized
- 1,250,000 Euros in donations collected (approximately $1,469,879 US Dollars)
A real charitable act
Thanks to our employees’ hard work, Bio-Rad donated 500 Euros to the Centre Hospitalier des 4 Villes (CH4V), which includes the hospitals of Saint-Cloud, Sèvres, Chaville, and Ville-d'Avray. This contribution will help improve the daily lives of healthcare workers, the quality of care, and support innovation initiatives and training.
Well done and thank you to all the participants for their commitment, enthusiasm, and team spirit.
Kudos to the heroes!
