Foulées du Cortex vs Scribble Run

Since 2024, the Brain Institute has been mobilizing the general public to help advance research into brain diseases through Les Foulées du Cortex. This connected event brings together everyone who wants to contribute to brain research through physical and sporting activity. Running, walking, trekking, hiking… it doesn’t matter how you do it: every kilometre counts. The principle is simple: 1 kilometre covered = €1 donated to brain research. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, a casual weekend walker, or simply enjoy going for a stroll, everyone can take part! You too can turn your kilometres into a donation and receive a tax receipt. Whether alone, with family, friends, or colleagues, and whether you are a company or an individual, the Brain Institute invites you to join us from 16 to 27 September 2026 to help give researchers the resources they need to take on one of the greatest challenges of our century: better understanding how the brain works and, one day, finding ways to stop the diseases that affect it. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumours, epilepsy, depression, autism, ADHD… Together, you can help drive forward the research being carried out at the Brain Institute! A huge thank you.

Every run, walk, hike and ride you've done, drawn in ink on a plain paper notebook. Scribble Run reads your workouts from Apple Health and draws each GPS route by hand. No setup, no account. Open it and your running log is already there. YOUR RUNS, DRAWN – Every route on its own little square of paper. Tap one: distance, pace, time, climb. – "So far" puts every route on top of each other, for all time or one year. Pinch in, run a finger through them. – The map: every route where it happened, like your own heatmap. NEW: DAYS, BESTS, POSTER – Days: a year of little calendars with a blot of ink on every day you went out. Longest streak, current streak, busiest month, favourite day. – Bests: your longest, your quickest run and ride, most climbing, earliest start, biggest week and month. – Poster: every drawing of the year on one sheet, or all of them on top of each other. Save it, print it, pin it up, share it. ALSO – Widgets: last run, so far, logbook, this week, and days out. – Draw with ink, pencil or biro. Kilometres or miles. – Runs, walks, hikes, rides, swims, ski days and paddles. – Opens like a book on iPhone Duo. No ads. No account. Your routes stay on your phone. Scribble Run only reads from Health; it never writes. Everything is free and nothing is locked. If it makes you smile, pay what you want.
