Why KWF
That is what scientific research is all about as far as we are concerned. Research that leads to earlier detection, better treatments and optimal care for everyone affected by cancer. Thanks to scientific breakthroughs, more and more people are surviving cancer. Or improve their quality of life if they do not get better. That is why KWF continues to invest unabatedly in research. Walk against cancer during the Arrow Venloop 2027 and contribute to our mission.
A better life during and after cancer
1 in 2 people in the Netherlands will face cancer at some point. With the Arrow Venloop 2027, we’re raising money together for scientific research—ranging from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and quality of life. But it’s not just research we support. Part of the proceeds also goes to local initiatives, such as the IPSO Centers for living with and beyond cancer, and palliative care.

I received my shirt, but it is not the right size. Can I still exchange it?
Yes, that is possible. If you are on time, you can still do that before the run, and otherwise on the day itself at the stall/stand of Run against cancer. Email us via rentegenkanker@kwf.nl to provide the correct size. You will then also receive the return address to be able to return the 'wrong' shirt without postage costs.
Can I also print my own logos on the Run against Cancer shirt?
Yes, that is allowed. These costs are for the participant. You also have to fix the prints yourself.
Is it mandatory to run in the Run against cancer shirt? Or can I wear my own shirt?
It is not mandatory, but for the image of Run against cancer and for the team spirit, it is nice if everyone wears their shirt. Then you are also recognizable for the employees of KWF. At the finish we also recognize the Run against cancer runners immediately.
I would like to buy a Run against cancer shirt. Is that possible?
No, this shirt is not for sale. You can earn it by raising at least 500 euros for your Run against cancer campaign.
What size shirt should I order?
The woman shirts run small, order a size larger than you are used to.
