A whole or half marathon

for research into children’s cancer

Run for KiKa Marathon

Every year, the Run for KiKa Marathon takes place on Texel. From Vakantiepark De Krim the participants will run along the lighthouse, via beautiful and challenging routes over the beaches and through the dunes back to the vacation park. There they will be festively welcomed at the finish.

Come and help out as a volunteer, cheer on the participants or register for the (half) marathon and join us! Together we go for a 100% cure for childhood cancer.
