Announcement

Sustainability takes center stage at the 19th edition of Ride, Swim, Walk & Run for the Roses on January 26 2025. This year, participants will receive a special token at the finish line instead of the traditional rose. The “Rose Token” features both a rose and the event year, serving as a lasting keepsake.

“This change is part of our sustainability initiative, reducing logistical challenges while offering a meaningful memento,” says Benno van Leeuwen, chairman of the foundation. Additionally, participants are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles, and extra efforts will be made to clean up litter during the event.
