← Dam tot Damloop
Biggest running event in the Netherlands. It goes from Amsterdam to Zaandam. The start is very easy to get to (next to Amsterdam Central Station) and you can drop off your bag at the Station and they'll transport it to the finish line. 10 Mile race going through the IJ-tunnel (normally only cars are allowed), through the outskirts of Amsterdam and into Zaandam. Lots of participants and starting waves, so there are always people running around you, but it never feels like a very large event. Only picking up your bag at the end was a bit chaotic. Bags are put out on the street and there are signs as to which bags are where, but it's so busy with people trying to retrieve their bags that it's almost impossible to see and it also takes a while before a volunteer can help you get your bag.
