Endurance with a purpose
I am Bjorn, a father of four. At Ultra Viking Amsterdam, I covered 53 km of the 60 km challenge before the time cutoff. Not a full finish, but an experience to learn from, in support of Kom op tegen Kanker.
Project Ultra Viking 2026
On 26 September 2026, I took part in Ultra Viking Amsterdam for Kom op tegen Kanker. I covered 53 km before the time cutoff stopped me from starting the final 7 km. I did not finish the full 60 km or receive a medal. Through this run, I raised €200 for Kom op tegen Kanker. Thank you to everyone who contributed. The lessons now become part of the next chapter.
