De Knikker Zegerplasloop

The Knikker Zegerplasloop is a running series consisting of three races in November, January and February, organised by AAV'36 in Alphen aan den Rijn. The races take place around the Zegerplas and offer distances of 5, 10, 15 and 20 km, as well as 400 m and 1,000 m youth races on the athletics track. The course is almost entirely free of traffic and runs through the Zegersloot area and around the Zegerplas, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced runners. The start and finish are on the AAV'36 athletics track, where changing rooms, showers, a canteen and a massage room are also available.

Official timekeeping is provided by MyLaps. Walkers can choose 5 km and 10 km routes, with a time limit of 2 hours; they start at the same time as the 20 km running race. There is no drinks station along the Aarkanaal because plastic cups are prohibited, but water is available at the finish and at a drinks station on the track for 15 km and 20 km runners on their second lap. Free leg massages are available in the massage room, provided by Running & Walkingcenter Alphen aan den Rijn. Changing rooms, showers, a canteen and a limited number of lockers are available. Registration is via the website. Free leg massages are provided by Running & Walkingcenter Alphen aan den Rijn. Winter conditions are possible.
