LOS Dokkum

LOS Dokkum is a 12-hour running and walking event held in Tolhuispark, Dokkum, Friesland. Rather than a set distance, it operates as a Last One Standing challenge. Each hour, a new round begins, and participants choose whether to continue or stop. Runners complete 6.7 kilometers per round on paved park paths; walkers have a 3.9 kilometer option. The full running format includes up to 12 rounds, emphasizing pacing, rest, and self-assessment over speed. Participants can begin in the morning for the complete challenge or join later for a reduced version with up to eight running rounds, totaling 53.6 kilometers. This offers a substantial event without requiring the maximum format. The program also features a children's run and a business or team category, welcoming club runners, walkers, families, local teams, and individuals wanting to attempt a single round. The short-loop design fosters a social atmosphere, as all participants return to the same starting area before each hourly decision.
