The Routes
The route takes you along De Bretten, a lush green strip full of wild vegetation, and past urban spots like Haarlemmerweg, Sloterdijk Station, and Rhonepark. You’ll run on mostly paved paths, with one charming little bridge along the way. Expect a mix of park paths, city edges, and green corridors, from playgrounds to sports parks like Spieringhorn, offering a refreshing and dynamic run through Sloterdijk.

Whether you’re cheering runners on, helping with setup, or guiding the crowd, there’s a role for everyone. Pick your preferred time slots and tasks in the form, each shift is just 2 hours long, so there’s plenty of time to soak up the vibe, meet neighbors, and enjoy the festivities.
