Startbaanrun

Runners in the StartbaanRun race traverse the runways of Park Vliegbasis Soesterberg, a former airbase situated near Den Dolder in the Netherlands. This trail-style event offers four distances: a 1 km youth race, a 5 km, a 10 km, and an 11.90 km race for men, women, and youth. Registration opens in September and concludes at the end of October; no race day sign-ups are available. Rotaryclub Amersfoort and AV Altis Amersfoort are the organizing bodies, with a maximum of 1,250 participants. The 5 km and 10 km courses are officially certified. Timing is managed by ETU, with results based on gross time from the start-finish area. The venue provides changing facilities, first aid, AEDs, and parking. Note that 5 km and 10 km participants might require parking cards, and organizers suggest arriving by bicycle.
