A Solid Structure

The backbone of the project

Portrait of Morgane, Frédéric Splendore’s partner for over 10 years and an essential pillar of his sporting and solidarity projects. From the earliest challenges to the “Steps for Peace 2026” project, she supports the daily organisation, logistics and preparation of this 4,200 km solidarity crossing from Monaco to Ukraine. Her quiet and consistent commitment plays a key role in both the athletic performances and the overall success of the project.
Morgane

Morgane has been Frédéric’s partner for 10 years (as of May 2026). To celebrate this decade together, they will cross the GR20 in June in just 5 days — a shared challenge that reflects their journey shaped by commitment, effort and adventure.

Together, they have explored the four corners of the world through adventure, humanitarian and sporting travels. In 2018, they adopted a small Samoyed named Luna, who has become a loyal and radiant presence, accompanying them whenever possible on their journeys.

An athlete in her own right, a coach, and passionate about trail running and Hyrox, Morgane also pursues her own challenges with dedication and determination.

By Frédéric’s side since 2016, they have taken on many challenges together. When projects grow in scale and intensity, she stands beside him in support — notably during 100 km races and now as part of the “Steps for Peace 2026” project.

 

On a daily basis, she supports Frédéric in the organisation, logistics and preparation of this 4,200 km solidarity crossing from Monaco to Ukraine. Her quiet and constant commitment plays a key role in Frédéric’s athletic progression and in the overall success of the project.

Sports Performance & Coaching

Logistics & Field Support

The field team plays a key role in the project and provides daily support to Frédéric throughout the entire route:

Support, Mobile Base & Operations

Continuous support is provided via a camper van serving as a logistical base, means of transportation, and living space throughout the entire project. This setup helps limit costs and reduce environmental impact, notably by avoiding the use of multiple vehicles and hotel accommodations.
The team also manages the camper van’s essential daily resources (fuel, gas, water), ensuring autonomy and the smooth continuity of the project.​
​​​​​​

Fueling & Equipment Management

Supplies for the second part of the day are prepared during the midday break to ensure effort continuity, with anticipation and provision of equipment adapted to the conditions encountered—particularly in the event of rain or rapidly changing weather.

Meal Preparation

The team is fully autonomous in meal preparation and sets aside a portion tailored to Frédéric’s needs. Lunch remains simple, functional, and substantial, while the evening meal is more structured and freshly prepared.​​​​

Real-Time Safety Monitoring
Live and secure tracking of Frédéric’s progress along the route, ensuring his safety and effective team coordination.
Occasional On-Course Support

When Frédéric is unable to reach the camper van, a member of the logistics team intervenes directly on the route to provide supplies and clothing, with the possibility of spending the night in a mountain refuge if necessary—particularly during the Via Alpina section.

Daily Meeting Points

Travel to the planned midday and overnight meeting points whenever possible, depending on how the stage unfolds.

A huge thank you to the field team for believing in the project as strongly as I do, long before the start—for their commitment and patience… and thank you in advance for all the thanks that fatigue will no doubt make me forget to say during the crossing.
