The event
The board of KWF Kankerbestrijding (Dutch Cancer Society) dept. Velsen is organizing the Vissenloop for the seventh time on Saturday 3 june 2023. In addition to the annual collection, the board of KWF Kankerbestrijding dept. Velsen has set itself the goal of raising more money by organizing this walking event in and around the Dutch town of IJmuiden.
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.
