running Holidays Amsterdam
Running Holland organises running holidays in the Netherlands for enthusiastic runners who would like to compete in a big Dutch run. You could join the famous Amsterdam Marathon or the popular Dam tot Damloop. Would you like an organized trip (by runners) to prepare you for the race, which also includes overnight stays and professional trainings? Running Holland is the first one to offer this type of trip within the Netherlands!

reviews about our running vacations
Evelyn: "A running holliday with Running Holland is the perfect holiday: running through the city in the morning guided by professional trainers, leaving the rest of the day to discover the city, relax and/or enjoy food and drinks alone or with other participants."
Diederik: "A holiday with Running Holland is really a recommendation. The atmosphere in the group was good and our instructors provided good guidance. It was an excellent combination of sports and an opportunity to see the city. At the same time, you learn new people."
Day 2: training on the beach and dunes.
Day 3: The Vondelpark is the best park for a run in the city (3,3 km per lap)
