24kika is an unique skating event for people who want to participate in a special sporting event whilst making fun and raising money for KIKA. Now, what is KIKA? KIKA is a charity that supports the fight against child cancer. Every participant of this event has their own reason to support this cause. No matter if you know a child fighting this battle or not; we are coming together to make the burden a little lighter and raise money for more research!

What is 24kika?

  • 24kika is 24-hours skating in a team (or on your own if you dare) at Nedereindse Berg
  • During this event you will be skating in a team with a relay system, so there is always one rider per team skating laps
  • Every team keeps their own place and their own strategy. No matter if you are aiming for the fastest time and the most laps or if this is your first time ever on skates; every team is welcome to join the fun!
  • KIKA is a charity that supports the fight against child cancer by raising money for research and other initiatives
  • Every team is required to collect money; either by participating in the selling of lottery tickets (made available by the organisation of this event) or by organizing their own unique sponsorship programmes

As a team you are responsible for your own teamspot, so you have to bring your own tent, camper etc. Sanitation is provided by the accommodation. You can book a teamspot for €25,- per place.
