AVH 1 km, 3 km, 5 km baanloop

The AVH baanloop is a low-key track race in Hoofddorp, organized by Atletiekvereniging Haarlemmermeer. It takes place on the first Monday of each month, with pauses during winter and summer holidays. Participants can run 3 or 5 kilometers on the club’s synthetic track. The summer edition also features 5 kilometer runs in Arnolduspark. The cost is 2 euros, and registration is open in the AVH canteen until 30 minutes before the start. This event is designed for both ordinary and fast runners, intended for anyone who can run for half an hour and wishes to do so with or against others. Chip timing records every lap, allowing runners to review their split times later, with all results posted on the AVH website. The top three male and female finishers get small prizes, and there is also a start-number lottery. The track is soft enough for participants to wear old sneakers.
