11strandentocht

The 11strandentocht is a walking event taking place on Saturday, 31 October 2026, along the Dutch coast. Participants can choose from four distances: 50 km, 25 km, 12.5 km and 5 km. Each route passes different beaches, with the sea on the left. The finish is always in the centre of Zandvoort. The event supports the Dutch Heart Foundation in its fight against cardiovascular disease and combines a sporting challenge with a good cause.

Each distance has a different starting location, but the finish is always in the heart of Zandvoort. The 50 km route starts at Deltaplein, The Hague, and is a loop over the beach and boulevard. The 5 km Heroes Route is suitable for walkers setting their own pace. There are 11 checkpoint posts along the way for the long distance and 5 checkpoint posts for the 12.5 km route. The number of entry tickets is limited to ensure personal attention and safety. Distances range from 5 km to 50 km; starting locations vary; the event supports a good cause; the beach route has the sea on the left.
