duurlopen met hazen

Duurlopen met hazen is a running event in Amstelveen where participants can train with pacers in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy refreshment stations. The loops vary in distance and take place at scenic locations such as the Amstel area and Amsterdamse Bos, often on the Amsterdam Marathon course. The start is usually at 10:00, but in warm weather it is moved earlier to protect participants. Facilities such as ice water and sponges help runners cool down during the run.

The maximum running time is 3 hours. At temperatures of 26 degrees or higher, the event starts at 9:00. The start location is the car park along the Amstel, just past Rozenoordbrug (Ouderkerkerdijk 150). Participants can cover different distances by running different loops (6.0 km and 5.5 km). There are several pace groups. Endurance training sessions last 60–95 minutes and focus on stamina and technique, with locations including Amsterdamse Bos and Waterleidingduinen.
