The 30 van Zandvoort owes its name to the main distance with thirty alternating kilometers through and around the Netherlands’ most famous seaside resort where nature, culture and entourage are central. There is also a shorter distance on the program, the 20 km.
The 30 km is the absolute highlight of our namesake walking event. Everything a passionate walker could wish for comes together in this route: the stunning North Sea beach, the rolling dunes, and the diverse Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. Along the way, you’ll pass from one cultural gem to the next.
Starting from Paddock 2 at Circuit Zandvoort, you’ll enjoy a truly unique starting location. You can even choose to extend your walk with the One Lap — a 4 km loop over the famous racetrack. Here, 2,000 participants get the exclusive chance to watch the sunrise on the fast circuit before heading towards the North Sea beach and walking on to IJmuiden.
At the finish on Gasthuisplein, in the heart of Zandvoort, a lively celebration awaits — the perfect place to toast your achievement.
The 20 km may be the “smaller sibling,” but it’s hardly less impressive. Just like the 30 km, you’ll set off from Paddock 2 at Circuit Zandvoort. You can even kick off your adventure with the One Lap — a 4 km loop over the famous racetrack. Here, 2,000 walkers get the exclusive chance to enjoy the sunrise on the fast circuit before continuing on towards the North Sea beach and walking in the direction of Parnassia aan Zee. Don’t miss this opportunity! At the finish on Gasthuisplein, in the heart of Zandvoort, a lively celebration awaits to mark your achievement in style.
During our events, we as an organization want to create the safest possible road situation for participants and other road users. That’s why it’s important to all to show the same walking behavior. We ask you to walk on the right as much as possible during our events. This allows us to avoid ambiguity on routes that aren’t completely closed to walkers.
Please note! The 30 van Zandvoort is not suitable for disabled people and strollers due to the difficult course. Nationaal Park Zuid-Kennemerland has a rich plant and animal world. In a number of areas where the route passes, dogs are not allowed to protect the fauna. As a result, dogs are not allowed to walk the 30 van Zandvoort.
