Events
One of our major charity events is a running festival that is organized as part of the annual City-Pier-City tour in The Hague.
Running Festival
In March 2020 WNF participated for the first time in the City-Pier-City (CPC) tour in The Hague. The initiative to run together as a community was raised spontaneously by a group of tropical doctors and friends of Wouter who expressed interest to do something, in memory of Wouter.
From that year on, a group of runners participated in the CPC tour in the Hague under the name of ‘Rennen voor Wout’. A special WhatsApp account is used as a communication link among the runners who are recognizable by the ‘Rennen voor Wout’ T-shirts. ​The tour is not a competition. Everybody runs at its own pace. The challenge is to finally cross the finish line within the speed limit of the distance that the runner has chosen. Family and friends grant the request for charity by donating a fee, based on the performance of the runner.
​
After the tour, the runners are cheered on at Greens restaurant in the Westbroekpark, IN The Hague. They meet with family and friends and everyone enjoys the sporty atmosphere. The event is organized by our social media team. So far, more than 300 donors granted our request for charity. They entrusted us new donations for which we are very thankful.
