The Roparun is passing through Breda again this year. The participating teams are expected on 8 and 9 June between 21:00 and 01:00 and will follow their route past Inloophuis de Honingraad and Atletiekvereniging Sprint. Cheer on the participants and give them that little boost on their way to Rotterdam.
The Roparun is a relay race of over 500 kilometres, featuring hundreds of teams with thousands of participants, a festive atmosphere, and most importantly, a fantastic amount of money raised to make the lives of people with cancer more bearable…
The Roparun is a unique event. This annual event, held during the Whitsun weekend, has starting locations in the Netherlands (Enschede) and France (Clastres). Besides the sporting achievement, the participating teams also dedicate themselves throughout the year to raising funds for the good cause. This is done by organising various actions.
The collected amount is distributed over several charities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, with the aim of making life as manageable as possible for people with cancer.
The previous edition raised an impressive €4.4 million, supporting hundreds of charitable causes. These include various initiatives, such as organisations that make wigs for sick children, the establishment of hospices, holiday camps for peer contact, and informational meetings.
