Roparun finish on the Coolsingel in Rotterdam

Coolsingel Hofplein Iris van den Broek

On Monday 29 May, the runners of the Roparun will finish on the Coolsingel. Through Rotterdam, from IJsselmonde via Rotterdam South to the Coolsingel; the last stretch of this fantastic run for a good cause.

It is an adventure for life, in which thousands of runners in their team cover a lot of kilometers in the form of a relay race. Every runner runs about 65 kilometers on average! A major undertaking, which requires support from cyclists, drivers, caretakers, caterers and road captains.

Charity

In addition to it being an unforgettable sporting experience, money is also raised for charity. Teams do this by organizing all kinds of actions. Think of packing groceries, washing cars, holding collections and looking for sponsors. The members of a team are also obliged to sell Roparun lottery tickets, the proceeds of which benefit the cause.

This year, the money raised will be awarded to institutions, charities or projects that contribute to Roparun's mission: "Add life to the days, where days can often no longer be added to life".

Finish on the Coolsingel

On Monday 29 May, which is also Whit Monday, the sports enthusiasts in Rotterdam will finish on the Coolsingel! The runners come in between 11 AM and 8 PM and could use some final encouragement. Are you coming to watch?
