Strong Viking - Obstacle Run Amsterdam 2026

Strong Viking - Obstacle Run Amsterdam runs in the Spaarnwoude nature reserve near Amsterdam, with water obstacles as the main draw. The event is an obstacle run rather than a standard road race, and the distance menu goes from a 4 km Family Run with child-friendly obstacles to the 60 km Ultra Viking. Other options include 4 km Beginning, 7 km Lightning, 13 km Warrior, 19 km Beast, and the 42 km Iron Viking. The course uses big water features, including Flying Ragnar and the Fjord Drop, a 14-meter-high obstacle into water. The event site is at Oostbroekerweg 1 in Velsen-Zuid, with catering, stands, and obstacles clustered around the start and finish area. Families can enter from age five in the Family Run, while the Ultra Viking is for adults. Spectators can watch for free, aid stations support runners on course, and finishers get a shirt, personal photos, and a drink after the line.
