Ren voor baanbrekend onderzoek
1 op de 2 Nederlanders krijgt ooit kanker. Met de Arrow Venloop 2026 halen we samen geld op voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Onderzoek gericht op preventie, diagnostiek en behandeling tot kwaliteit van leven. Maar niet alleen wetenschappelijk onderzoek wordt gefinancierd. Ook krijgt een deel van de opbrengst een lokale bestemming, zoals ondersteuning van de IPSO-Centra voor leven met en na kanker en palliatieve zorg.
Beter leven met en na kanker
Dat is waar wetenschappelijk onderzoek wat ons betreft om draait. Onderzoek dat leidt tot vroegere opsporing, betere behandelingen en optimale zorg voor iedereen die te maken krijgt met kanker. Dankzij wetenschappelijke doorbraken overleven steeds meer mensen kanker. Of verbetert de kwaliteit van leven als je niet meer beter wordt. Daarom blijft KWF onverminderd investeren in onderzoek. Ren tegen kanker en draag bij aan onze missie.

Can someone else walk for me if I am unexpectedly unable to walk?
Yes, that is possible. However, if it is shortly before the event, the name on the starting ticket may not be changed. Please contact us about this via rentegenkanker@kwf.nl
Can I change my distance?
This can be done up to six weeks before the event, if there are still tickets available for the desired distance. In any case before the starting numbers are printed.

From two persons. There is no limit on how many participants can be part of a team.
