10 KM Performance Run
AartsenBased on your stated expected finish time, you will be assigned to a box. The na-registrants will be assigned to the back compartment. Your start number will indicate in which starting area you are assigned.
On the 10 km, you can use the services of pacers, who will guide you to a predetermined finish time. These “hares” are clearly recognizable because they run with a backpack with a recognizable beach flag pinned on it. They run at the following target times: 45, 50, 55, 60 and 62 minutes.
Each kilometer run is indicated on signs along the course: for the 10 km, these are white signs with blue letters/numbers.
A nice news update for 2026: we are proud to announce that we will host the official Dutch 10 km Championships!
