Youth Run

On Saturday, May 29, as part of the Vissenloop & Run, a special 2.7-kilometer youth run will be held for children in grades 5 through 8 (Dutch school system). It’s a sporting event that brings together fun, physical activity, and a great cause!

We warmly invite as many children as possible to take part. The more children who join, the bigger the celebration—and the more we can contribute to KiKa (Children Cancer-Free). All proceeds from the youth run will go directly to this wonderful cause.

Run for KiKa!

For just €5, children can participate in this youth run. Every participant will receive a beautiful medal as a memento of this active day.

But that’s not all! There are also fantastic trophies to be won for:

  • the three fastest girls;
  • the three fastest boys;
  • the fastest school (based on the combined times of the three fastest runners from that school);
  • the school with the highest number of participants.

Participants from the same school are encouraged to wear their school uniform or school-related attire.

So, gather your classmates and friends, lace up your running shoes, and come join the fun! Together, we’ll make this a fantastic sporting event while supporting children affected by cancer.

Sign up now, join the run, and make a difference!
