25th Roparun

Roparun Foundation visits Beursplein 5 prior to 25th Roparun

Next Saturday the 25th Roparun will start in Hamburg and Paris and finishes Whit Monday in Rotterdam. Michael Beenhakker, Director Roparun Foundation, sounds the gong accompanied by ambassador Nelli Cooman and participants of team Unilever, team KPN and team Tref & Co.

The Roparun is a relay race of more than 500 kilometers from Paris and Hamburg to Rotterdam, in which people work as a team to give a combined sports performance in order to raise money for people who suffer from cancer.  

Besides the physical challenge, the team must also make an effort to raise money for the cause. Teams do this by organizing various activities. The three teams who raise the most money and the six teams who win for their running speed are honored during the final celebration of the Roparun, which takes place a few weeks after the finish. Over the past twenty-four editions of the Roparun, more than sixty-seven million Euros have been raised.
