The LoveLife Run Amsterdam is a 5K race in Amsterdam for individuals living with cancer, cancer survivors, and their support networks. The Amsterdam event is scheduled for October, with past editions linked to the June Yet Zuidas Run held on the Zuidas. Stichting Fight cancer is the organizing body. The run serves a dual purpose: participants train to complete the 5-kilometer distance while simultaneously fundraising for cancer research. The race emphasizes support throughout the preparation period, extending beyond the event itself. Individuals can participate solo or as part of a team, often running with family, friends, medical professionals, or other caregivers. A 12-week training program is available for patients, guided by trainers from the Cancer Care Centre and FTSA who possess oncology expertise. The Amsterdam event has previously utilized a dedicated start area within the Yet Zuidas Run, providing LoveLife runners with a distinct space within a larger city race. A recent edition generated over EUR80,000 for Stichting Fight cancer. The training component also aims to foster connections among patients and aid them in rebuilding confidence in their physical capabilities during or after treatment.

The entry form lists short, middle, and long distance categories, along with a short-distance option for ages 12-18. Runners aged 15 and under require parental or guardian consent.

The AVH 1 km, 3 km, and 5 km baanloop is a low-key track race at Arnolduspark in Hoofddorp, organized by AV Haarlemmermeer on the first Monday of each month. The 3 km and 5 km races take place eight times annually, with pauses during the winter months and the summer holiday. Entry is limited to 100 participants, and late registration is permitted. The facilities provided are basic: changing rooms, showers, parking, first aid, and an AED are available at the athletics club. The race is conducted on AVH’s synthetic track, meaning participants complete multiple laps instead of a road loop. Chip timing captures lap splits, which runners can review afterward. This format is beneficial for pacing practice and for achieving a straightforward effort over a set distance. The event is suitable for anyone capable of running for approximately thirty minutes, not exclusively club racers. Older sneakers can be worn, as the track surface offers adequate cushioning. Prizes are awarded to the top three men and women, and a lottery based on start numbers is also held. Results are published on the AV Haarlemmermeer website.
