Veluwegames 2025: Movement and encounters on the park path in Harderwijk!

On September 22, 2025, the sun will shine over Harderwijk while an exciting event unfolds on the park path: the Veluwegames 2025. These games are all about sport, exercise and encounters between people - a real highlight for the community.

The Veluwe games are aimed particularly at residents of the northwest Veluwe who are dealing with health or psychological challenges. On site, participants have the opportunity to try out new sports and make social contacts, which is particularly valuable in times of isolation. Overall, there is a wide range of activities to choose from, including dancing, archery, kickboxing, mountain biking, VR sports, golf, football, korfball and jeu de boules. Participation is free and voluntary, but at your own risk. A dedicated crew of volunteers and sports instructors, supported by local organizations such as GA, ensure the safety and well-being of the participants! Harderwijk, the Red Cross, Veld42 and the Leger des Heils, like harderwijkercourant.nl reported.

A platform of inclusion

The Veluwegames 2025 is not just a sporting event, but also a platform to promote inclusion and mutual exchange. The goal is clear: people with health restrictions should be given the opportunity to exercise and become part of a community, which contributes significantly to improving their well-being. Events like these are crucial for promoting social inclusion and combating prejudice against people with disabilities. The German Disabled Sports Association (DBS) also follows similar principles, which supports sports for people with disabilities and provides a lot of information on the website parasport.de, according to the website enableme.de.

Interestingly, there are also parallels to the Olympic Games and the Paralympics, which represent world-class sporting events. The Paralympics, which originated in 1988, have also enjoyed great success and enable international athletes with disabilities to compete on a balanced platform.

A diverse offering

When exploring the Veluwegames, participants can not only discover sporting skills, but also develop new hobbies and connect with others. It is a valuable opportunity to overcome personal challenges and strengthen your own self-confidence. As already indicated, the Veluwegames are more than just a sports festival; they are an invitation to participate in life, a celebration of diversity.

The organizers of the Veluwegames invite everyone interested to take part and meet on a sunny day at the park path in Harderwijk. Whether it's korfball or mountain biking, the Veluwegames stand for each other and for each other - a message that is both stimulating and inspiring. Don't miss the chance to be part of this great event and experience how sport brings people together!
