Long Run Waterleiding Duinen
Details
🌿🏃♂️ Scenic Long Run – Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen 🏃♀️🌿
Looking to turn your long run into a mini adventure? Join us for a stunning run through the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen—one of the most unique places to run in the Netherlands and the natural filtration system for Amsterdam’s drinking water 💧
Expect rolling dunes, winding canals, clear streams, and wide gravel paths. This protected Natura 2000 area is bursting with life 🌱. You’ll likely run alongside herds of fallow deer (around 2,000 call this place home 🦌), and may also spot foxes, rabbits, roe deer, kingfishers, and great egrets. Add in dune grasslands, wild scrub, and hidden WWII bunkers, and you’ve got a truly special backdrop for a long run.
Route options:
- ~25 km, finishing at the Pannenland restaurant ☕🥧
- ~45 km for those who want to keep going and we join the others at Pannenland restaurant a bit later 💪
We’ll run together at a relaxed, conversational long-run pace. After 25 km, runners can chill and refuel at Pannenland. Feeling strong? Join the extended group for another ~20 km, with the option to gently pick up the pace.
All runners are welcome 🤝
Come for the kilometers, stay for the scenery—and don’t forget to enjoy the deer watching along the way 🦌✨
