Association & Foundation
Originally Le Champion is an Association for cyclist, which is founded in 1969, later the runners and walkers joined the club. Together the sport events were organised, thanks to the success of this the number of members and participants increased significantly which made it impossible to do organise it all only by volunteers. Therefore in 1986 the foundation is founded to accommodate the large events. Known examples of this process are the NN Egmond Halve Marathon, Egmond Wandel Marathon, Ronde van Noord-Holland and the Dam tot Damloop. The association and foundation at the moment still work together and the founders of the association are still involved.
In the meantime Le Champion is one of the biggest sports associations in the Netherlands with 20.000 members and yearly 250.000 participants. We are extremely proud that the association has grown so much in the past 50 years. 70% of our members are focussing mostly on running, the other 30% are cycling and walking.
