Want to run between the ‘dam’s? For the main event, this 10 mile race closes off the city’s Ij-tunnel so that seasoned runners and newbies alike can run from Amsterdam Central Station, straight under the Ij River, along the highway and straight past Bunk Amsterdam, through Noord’s beautiful dijks all the way to Zaandam. The end point? Zaandam’s cosy city centre where huge crowds await to cheer you on.
But that’s not all, for the Damloop by Night, runners take on a gentler 5 miles of Amsterdam Noord – and there are mini races for children both in Amsterdam and Zaandam. Basically? There’s a fun run for everyone.
Not a fan of running but a fan of a runner? Cheer them on as they complete their first hurdle of climbing up the huge hill of the Ij-tunnel from right next door to Bunk!
