Walk through a remarkable piece of history
The route runs along the Den Helder Defence Line. Napoleon recognized the importance of this location in 1811. He had forts built for defence. Later, these were connected by a line dike. Together, they form a defence line that is unique in Europe.
Start together and finish on a cozy note.
The start is at Hotel Den Helder. The youth depart at 10:30 AM. Adults start at 11:00 AM. Napoleon himself will fire the starting gun. In 2019, the Dutch Athletics Federation named this race the most fun run in the Netherlands. Afterwards, you can catch up at the Pasta Party in the restaurant of Hotel Den Helder.
You can register in advance via inschrijven.nl. On the day of the competition, you can register at Hotel Den Helder from 9:00 AM.
