After an unforgettable Mini Dam tot Damloop and a medal to show at school, it's time for the big children's party! Let your child(ren) enjoy sports activities such as table soccer, running on the obstacle course or dancing. The program will follow soon!

Adaptive Sports

The Mini Dam tot Damloop is for everyone — including children with a disability! That’s why the Mini Dam tot Damloop Specials is once again part of this year’s program. It doesn’t matter if you use a wheelchair, run with a prosthesis, have a visual impairment, or something else — together, we’ll cross that finish line! A maximum of 50 children can take part in this event. Will we see you at the start on Saturday, September 20?
