Every September KickCancer organises its family charity run: RUN TO KICK.

When you participate in RUN TO KICK, you help KickCancer fund innovative treatments for children with cancer. That’s why 100% of funds raised through RUN TO KICK go directly to the FIGHT KIDS CANCER innovative research projects. Thanks to our main sponsors: the National Lottery, Delhaize and NRJ Belgique.

RUN TO KICK is a unique, family-friendly event with one shared goal! It’s not about being the fastest runner — it’s about being the most dedicated fundraiser. The most committed participants, earn their place on the podium. Every participant - runner or walker - commits to raising at least €200 (€100 for children and students under 25) to support the development of better and less toxic treatments for young patients. And it works! Most participants smash their fundraising goal by D-Day and raise much more than the €200 minimum.

Don’t be shy – you can do it too!

Expect a full-day programme, with a warm-up, the run, fun activities for kids, games, food trucks, bars and a live concert. RUN TO KICK is also a day filled with light, festive and moving moments. It offers a sheer dose of hope and solidarity to families who are affected by childhood cancer.

Become a Kicker and create a team with your family, friends or a corporate team with colleagues! Raise funds like a winner and join us on 27 September in Brussels.
