DEME at the 100 km Run for Kom op tegen Kanker

During the eighth edition of the 100 km Run for Kom op tegen Kanker, an impressive 1,235 teams took to the starting line on Sunday. More than five thousand runners collectively raised 3,396,250 euros for cancer research during the 100 km Run for Kom op tegen Kanker. 

DEME also proudly participated in the 100 km Run, with six teams of four runners each. Their incredible team spirit and dedication were on full display in the fight against cancer. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause!

The concept remained unchanged: each team covered a total of 100 kilometers, divided into successive stages. The first runner completed a 40‑kilometer loop before picking up the 30‑kilometer runner in the transition zone. The 20‑kilometer and 10‑kilometer runners then joined in sequence. Ultimately, all four runners crossed the finish line together as a team.

DEME has been a proud long-term sponsor of Kom op tegen Kanker, an organization that operates on several fronts in the battle against cancer. This year, we are supporting Kom op tegen Kanker by participating in both the 100 km running event in March and the 1,000 km cycling event in May. 

We extend our gratitude to all the contributors who made this happen – and a heartfelt thank you and special shoutout to all the DEME runners who participated, giving a much-needed boost to cancer research.
