Run for Children of Heroes — Rotterdam

Ukrainian Running Club Rotterdam joins the international Run for Children of Heroes campaign with a local charity run and walk. The initiative brings communities in different cities together to support Ukrainian children who have lost parents because of the war. Taking part combines a shared outdoor activity with a contribution to the Children of Heroes Foundation.

The Rotterdam programme offers three options for adults: a 5 km walk, a 5 km run or a 10 km run. This allows walkers as well as runners to choose an appropriate distance. The official registration form requires participants to be at least 18. The listed local organizer is Ukrainian Running Club Rotterdam, with Ukrainian Running Club and Children of Heroes coordinating the wider campaign.

Meet on Sunday 25 October 2026 at 10:30, at Graaf Florisstraat 88A, 3021 CL Rotterdam. The organizer lists this as the local event location; the precise route and finishing time are not stated on the campaign page. Check the Rotterdam race information and registration updates before travelling.

Registration costs €30, with all proceeds supporting children; an additional donation is optional. Use the official campaign page, select Rotterdam and the appropriate distance, then complete the organizer’s registration and payment process. No separate spectator or birthday celebration programme has been verified.
