In 2026, Strong Viking and the Dutch Heart Foundation (Hartstichting in Dutch) join forces! Together, we fight for one important goal: stronger, healthier hearts for everyone in the Netherlands. Cardiovascular diseases are still the second leading cause of death in the country, but we won’t accept that. The Dutch Heart Foundation works to detect, treat, and prevent heart and vascular diseases earlier, and this year, we’re joining them in the effort
Strong Together
During the 2026 Strong Viking Obstacle Runs, you can not only push your limits, but also contribute to this important cause.
By donating, getting a special Dutch Heart Foundation x Strong Viking shirt, or starting your own fundraising action, you help the Dutch Heart Foundation (Hartstichting in Dutch) keep the Netherlands moving—both literally and figuratively. Because at Strong Viking, it’s all about strength, perseverance, and crossing the finish line together—exactly what the Dutch Heart Foundation works toward every day in the fight against cardiovascular diseases.
Every Step Counts
Through this collaboration, we aim not only to raise funds for research but also to increase awareness. Every step, every obstacle, every participant matters. Together, we ensure that more people stay healthy and that those with heart or vascular conditions remain fit and strong for longer.
Join us. Take action. And fight together with us for a strong and healthy heart! For more information about the collaboration, donating, or participating, visit our dedicated Dutch Heart Foundation page.
