A seashell from the sea, a name, and a beautiful memory.
For the 2027 edition of the Vissenloop, we have once again collected special seashells. Because sometimes, a small gesture speaks louder than a thousand words. A seashell can offer comfort, keep memories alive, and allow us a moment to reflect on someone we miss or carry with us in our hearts.
Who will you be thinking of?
Will you be joining us for the Vissenloop on Sunday, May 30, 2027? If so, we will provide you with a beautiful seashell. Write the name of someone dear to you on it—someone you wish to commemorate, someone who gives you strength, or someone to whom you would like to dedicate this walk.
During your walk, your seashell will be placed in a special spot on The Memorial Wall. Afterward, you can collect your shell to take home—a small, tangible memento of a deeply meaningful walk.
Through this special initiative, we are supporting KWF Dutch Cancer Society together. Because every step counts.
For everyone affected by cancer, for everyone fighting the disease, and for everyone we continue to carry in our hearts.
All of IJmuiden, all of Velsen, is walking together—for one another, for loved ones, and for a future with less cancer.
Will you join us? Register for the Vissenloop 2027 and give your walk a personal meaning.
