Run through the dunes and along the beach in Den Helder on December 31st

End your year in a sporty way

Still have energy left on the last day of the year? Then come to the Bart Langedijk Sport 2000 New Year's Eve Run. On December 31st, you'll run through the dunes, on the beach, and along the coastline with Den Helder. The start and finish are at the FC Den Helder sports fields on Bremstraat.

A distance for every runner

Will you choose 5 or 10 kilometers? Or will you run the 1 km youth distance with your child? Everyone is welcome.

Popular and trusted

This run has been a favorite among the Helderse community for years. Up to 600 runners compete every year. Not for the win, but for the fun. Running, fresh air, meeting new friends. And afterward... a warm oliebol.

Oliebollen at the finish

Didn't have time to pick up oliebollen? No worries. There's a stall on the grounds with freshly baked oliebollen from local bakeries. That way, you can end the year feeling energetic and delicious. More information at noordkopatletiek.nl.
