Will you run with
YEARTH for Free a Girl

Movement brings people together. That is why YEARTH Academy is taking part in the Dam tot Damloop in 2026. Not to set the fastest time, but to create something positive together. With a team of participants, partners, and colleagues, we will run the iconic route from Amsterdam to Zaandam while raising funds for a cause that truly makes a difference.

For every registration, YEARTH automatically donates to Free a Girl, so your participation directly supports the rescue and protection of girls affected by sexual exploitation.

Whether you are an experienced runner or taking on your first major run, everyone is welcome to join with energy, motivation, and a good heart.
