The event

The Stichting wandelevenement Vissenloop is organizing the Vissenloop for the nineth time on Saturday, May 24, 2025. The foundation has set itself the goal of raising money for KWF Kankerbestrijding (Dutch Cancer Society) by organizing this walking event in and around IJmuiden.

De pieren van IJmuiden eind 19e eeuw
A piece of history of IJmuiden

IJmuiden’s origins date back to 1876 when the North Sea Canal was opened. The IJ and Wijkermeer were reclaimed for this purpose. Many canal workers continued to live here and were the first inhabitants. The new location was baptized by King Willem III, IJmuiden – mouth of the IJ. The place developed rapidly through fishing and shipping. You will encounter many memories along the way.
