Overview

Duchenne Heroes

Duchenne Heroes is a unique mountain bike event in which participants will cycle through the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg from 6 to 12 September 2026 to raise money for the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

On 6 September, the participants of Duchenne Heroes will be staying at Ardennen Camping Bertrix. During these days, the campsite will be all about sportsmanship, perseverance and camaraderie. The combination of impressive achievements, stunning natural surroundings and a special atmosphere makes this event unique for both participants and supporters.

During this period, Ardennen Camping Bertrix is the perfect base for an active holiday in the Belgian Ardennes. Enjoy the peace and quiet, the natural surroundings and the many outdoor activities on offer in the area, whilst watching the competitors up close.

We are also keen to do our bit for this initiative. That is why we are donating €1 to Duchenne Heroes for every participant in the Vroege Vogelloop.
