PARCOURS

This year we are organizing already the third edition of this triathlon through the beautiful Haarlemmermeerse Bos! This unique location has all the ingredients of a wonderful triathlon: swimming in the recreational lake, cycling over the wide roads of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer and running through the beautiful nature of the Forest.

SPRINT & OLYMPIC DISTANCE

Swim

Distance 1 lap: 750m

Distance 2 laps: 1500m

 


The swim part immediately reflects the beauty of the location. In the middle of the Haarlemmermeerse Bos, a swimming course is set up in the recreational lake. In the middle of this beautiful nature you swim one or two laps before you may start the bike course.

Sprint distance: 1 lap
Olympic distance: 2 laps

BIKE

Distance 1 round: 19.5 km
Distance 2 rounds: 38.3 km

 

Once on your bike, you ride out of the Haarlemmermeerse Bos. You then enter the wide, completely closed freeways of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. After cycling the first eleven kilometers at full speed, it is time to step it up a notch. For the next two kilometers, you ride along one of the runways of Schiphol Airport. While the planes land next to you, it is a good time for you to give it some extra throttle. As soon as you have left this parallel road, you return to the freeway and cycle in one straight line toward the end of the lap.

Sprint distance: 1 lap
Olympic distance: 2 laps

 

RUN

1 lap: 5 KM
2 laps: 10 KM


The concluding running part leads you over a truly beautiful course. On paved roads you first run along the recreational lake through the Haarlemmermeerse Bos. Then you come to the Groene Weelde, where you have to climb the famous pyramid Spotters Hill. Once you have descended again, you run through the Prince Bernhard Forest, across the Mysteryland festival grounds, back to the Haarlemmermeer Forest where the finish line awaits.

Sprint distance: 1 lap
Olympic distance: 2 laps
