LOS Dokkum

At LOS Dokkum, the start signal sounds again each hour, prompting runners and walkers to decide on another lap. This September event in Dokkum, Friesland, Netherlands, centers on 12 hours of running and sport walking, not a single fixed race distance. Runners complete 6.7 km per lap, walkers 3.9 km per lap, with listed running distances ranging from 6.70 km to 53.60 km. All participants begin in the morning, and the field is limited to 500 people. The format is the primary draw: completing one lap is an accomplishment, as is continuing for hour after hour. The program features running, walking, a kids run, and a Business Run, welcoming club runners, walkers, families, regional teams, and individuals seeing how far they can go by choosing another round. The event begins at Tolhuispark in Dokkum and provides essential race-day amenities like parking, showers, first aid, and an AED.
