The KiKa bear has been quiet for a while but has certainly not been sitting still. The municipality has told us that there will be an event in Zandvoort on the weekend of 2 and 3 September where many people will come and where many emergency services will also be present. We are therefore not allowed to rollerblade together that weekend on the Wieler- en Skeelerbaan in Spaarnwoude.
But the KiKa bear doesn’t give in that easily, so the KiKa bear started calling and emailing around looking for another beautiful and new location. We found this one, for the participants who have been participating for a very long time, in an old acquaintance. The Nedereindse Berg in Utrecht.
The 24KiKa took place here before, namely in 2012.
After a bit of puzzle and sliding work, we can go on the track on September 2 and 3 and 24KiKa will take place from Friday 2:00 PM to Saturday 2:00 PM. This means that the 6 hour race will be a 5 hour race and will start on Saturday September 3rd 09:00 AM. The 24 hour race will start on Friday September 2nd at 2:00 PM.
The track
As the name Nedereindse Berg suggests, there is a climb in the route of 18 altimeters. But don’t worry, not everyone has to go up and down here.
Are you not that familiar with inline skates or do you not feel like climbing for a while? Then you only drive the lower lap.
If you are more familiar with inline skates, you can take the lower and the upper round and participate in the Nedereindse Berg Ranking.
Now I hear you thinking: “What exactly is the Nedereindse Berg Ranking?”
Every time you take the top round, you get one point. The ranking will be kept for the following categories
-Solo
-Duo
-Teams up to 6
-Children’s teams up to 8
In the end, the winner of each category will receive a nice prize.
If you skate solo, as a duo or as a (children’s) team together 50 points or more, you will receive a super nice Nedereindse Berg Ranking medal from the KiKa Beer!
Team places
You can also set up a team place in the middle area on the Nedereindse Berg. This is possible from Friday morning, September 2, 8:30 a.m.
Sign up
You can still register via the website 24KiKa.nl. If you drive with a team or duo, make sure everyone registers separately and mentions the team name. You can still reserve a team place via the website.
KiKa
But don’t forget to raise as much money as possible for KiKa! Ask your Grandpa and Grandma, your teachers, your colleagues and everyone you know to sponsor you and let’s raise as much money as possible for KiKa to raise the recovery chance to 95%!
Greetings,
The Kika Bear,
