LoveLife Run Deventer

LoveLife Run Deventer is a special running event taking place on 8 November 2026, where (former) cancer patients take part alongside their loved ones and healthcare providers. Participants can choose to walk or run 1 or 5 kilometres, aiming to reach the finish at their own pace, with no timekeeping. Special training sessions led by experienced running coaches from AV Daventria 1906 are offered to help participants prepare. Proceeds from the event go towards groundbreaking cancer research and local causes at Deventer Hospital, Kenniscentrum Oncologie and IPSO centrum Salland. Everyone is welcome to take part, including people who have not had cancer themselves.

Participants receive a mandatory LLR shirt, which is handed out on the day. There is no timekeeping; the aim is to reach the finish. There are 12 weeks of guided training for (former) cancer patients, led by AV Daventria 1906, starting on 19 August 2026. The event is organised by a local team of volunteers and supported by running coaches. Participants are advised to travel sustainably by bike or public transport. Participation is at your own risk. Participants are encouraged to use sustainable transport and wear an LLR shirt supplied by the organisers. The event is free for participants and focuses on fundraising for cancer research and local causes.
