The Hafkamp Groenewegen Ronde Venen Marathon is an enchanting race that winds through the picturesque villages of De Ronde Venen, just minutes from Amsterdam. This unique course offers runners a diverse landscape, starting and finishing in the charming town center of Abcoude. As participants lace up their shoes for this 42-kilometer journey, they are treated to breathtaking views along several rivers that meander through lush greenery and picturesque farmland. The route takes you past historic landmarks, such as an old cattle farm where cows graze peacefully, over a former railway line now converted into scenic trails, and through expansive meadows dotted with wildflowers. One of the highlights is running through Botshol, a protected nature reserve that provides a serene break from the bustling city life. The marathon offers more than just physical challenges; it immerses runners in the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the region. For those who prefer team efforts or shorter distances, there's also an option for duo marathons where two participants alternate running and cycling to complete 42 kilometers together, as well as a scenic 10-kilometer race. With limited spots available—600 individual marathon runners, 300 duos, and 300 runners on the shorter course—it's advisable to register early. Whether you're an avid runner or simply seeking a memorable adventure in one of Holland’s most idyllic settings, this event promises an unforgettable experience. The Hafkamp Groenewegen Ronde Venen Marathon invites all participants to explore and enjoy the serene beauty of De Ronde Venen while testing their limits on its varied terrain.
