The main walking event of IJmuiden
On Saturday, May 30th, we're going to do something we've never done before. We're organizing a performance run: the VissenRun. And of course, we won't be doing it alone. We've enlisted some help of Athletics club Suomi and Sportsupport. That Saturday, we're reviving the old Pierloop with distances of 8.2 km, and 15 km.
Registration for the VissenRun was closed per May 19th.
In 2026, the walking event will be moved to Sunday once again, especially for "150 Years of IJmuiden." For some distances, there's the option to take the Koninging Emma tour boat from De Kop van de Haven to visit Forteiland. The various routes will also take participants past iconic IJmuiden buildings. This makes the 10th edition even more special. So make sure you're there.
Online pre-registration is closed, however, one can still registrate on May 31st, on the starting area (Plein 1945, IJmuiden).
Volunteers wanted! We can really use your help as a volunteer for our event. If you are unable to join us in walking but would still like to contribute, you can.

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.
