About Alpe d’HuZes

Alpe d’HuZes is a unique and inspiring sporting event dedicated to raising funds for cancer research and improving the quality of life for people affected by the disease. On the first Thursday of June, thousands of participants ascend the legendary Alpe d’Huez (a mountain in the French Alps), either cycling, running, or walking. The route is 14.5 kilometers long, includes 21 sharp bends, and features a vertical climb of 1100 meters with an average gradient of 7.9%.

Participants aim to conquer this challenging climb multiple times: cyclists can ride up to six ascents, while walkers and runners target a maximum of three. Since its inception in 2006, Alpe d’HuZes has raised over €226 million. Every euro donated goes directly to the Alpe d’HuZes/KWF fund, supporting scientific cancer research and initiatives to enhance the quality of life for those living with cancer.

Meet Albert Callenbach

Albert Callenbach, a passionate advocate for cancer research and a member of Team Axians NL, has been a dedicated participant in the Alpe d’HuZes for several years. On June 5, 2025, Albert will once again take on the challenge to raise funds for the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF). Together with his teammates, Albert is determined to make a meaningful contribution to the fight against cancer. His commitment and determination inspire us to support his journey.
