Sign up for Beat&Burn

The Beat&Burn sports festival will take place on 24 May. Around the historic Loevestein Castle it is all about one thing:burn as many calories as possible with your team while exercising. The proceeds go to scientific research into the cure and treatment of diabetes.

Two birds with one stone
The sports festival is organized by the Diabetes Fund. Director Hanneke Dessing explains:'Exercise is very important, whether you have type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or no diabetes at all. Beat&Burn is for everyone:from fitness fanatics to friends who want to get ready for summer sports. By participating in Beat&Burn you kill 2 birds with one stone:you improve your own health and you help to find solutions for diabetes.'

Burn 10,000 calories
Register with a team of up to 500 kilos. During Beat&Burn you have to burn 10,000 calories in one afternoon. You can do that by participating in different sports:boot camp, running, spinning, walking, cross training and more.

Sports festival
Team spirit and conviviality are central, there is music and in the evening all calories go up in the air symbolically. Friends, family and fans of the athletes are also welcome to come and celebrate the achievements.
