Kids Run

Hey you!

Will you take part in the Cruyff Legacy Kids Run on Sunday 13 April 2025? Run like your favourite footballers at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam and raise money for the Cruyff Foundation, so we can enable children with disabilities to play sports.

Participation is free! Sign up, create your own action page, look for sponsors and make sure you will be fit as a fiddle on 13 April! Johan Cruijff said: ‘If you can do something for someone else, you should do it’.

Greetings, Cruyffie

Will you help raise money for other children?

As an individual or team, you will receive your own action page when you register. You (or your dad/mum/coach/teacher) can easily share this action page via WhatsApp or other social media. For example, ask grandparents/neighbours/family to support you. Some ideas:

Your action page has a personal QR code, sponsors can scan this when you go door-to-door.
Collect plastic bottles and hand them in at the supermarket.
Be creative! Bake cup cakes, do a chore or challenge dad to a handshake competition.
Check out our 14 fundraising tips on the website!

PS. There are even prizes to be won if you raise a lot of money!

You can participate individually or as a team with, for example, your school or sports club, how cool is that?
Ask an adult to help you register. Would you like to register individually? Then choose option 'individual'.

Would you like to create a team? Then choose option 'team'. There is no maximum number of children per team, so ask all your friends and class mates to join your team.

Want to join an existing team? Then choose option 'team member' and select your team.

The charity

World-famous footballer and coach Johan Cruyff believed in the power of sport and its influence on all children; Sport makes children fitter and gives them fun. Not all children can easily play sports. If they have a disability or live in a disadvantaged neighbourhood, it is more difficult for example.

The Kids Run is open to participants from 4 to 12 years old. A supervisor is welcome to guidance young kids.

Accessible for everyone

Of course the different distances are also accessible for children with a disability. Athletes with a hand bike or visual disability will start in a separate starting section due to safety measures. After signing up, we ask you to contact us to inform us, so we can send you additional instructions.
