Information

During IJsbrekers, it’s all about sportsmanship, a great atmosphere and coming together to take action for a good cause. At two locations, Breda and Enschede, hundreds of participants take to the ice to raise money for heart failure research. Both locations are connected via a live link.

Whether you skate regularly or haven’t been on the ice for years, everyone can take part. Skate alone, as a duo or with a team, and choose a challenge that suits you:

100 laps: a great sporting challenge.
200 laps: for those who want to go one step further.
400 laps: for the truly determined.

You set your own pace. With every lap, you contribute to important research into heart failure, a condition in which the heart is less able to pump blood around the body.

Under the motto From heart to heart, participants are supporting someone else’s heart. So get your skates out and join in!

Inside the ice rink, you’ll find the cosy Winterplein. There’s plenty to do here for participants and supporters alike, from fun food trucks and hot drinks to entertainment and music
