Running courses offered by Running Holland started in 1998. Nowadays we run in several places in the Netherlands. We specialize in preparing groups, companies and individual runners for running events.

We won't spend time giving you information about the benifits of running but we will inform you that Running Holland trainers all provide a high level of training to runners of all levels. Therefore we can offer you a wealth of experience in teaching running and in running itself. We also place a big emphasis on the social side of running. It’s not important to achieve in races, but it is important that runners keep on running. The trainers of Running Holland teach runners how to enjoy running as much as possible and how best to prevent an injury.

The courses we are offering during the year:

from April onwards : Amsterdam and New York City Marathon (first sunday in November)
from june onwards : Dam tot Damloop (3th sunday in September)

If you want to be informed in English about our services, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can send specific information to you in English. We can also arrange to visit you for a private training session.

As well as courses for experienced runners,we also offer courses for beginners.

Holland running Running Holland

Holland is a counrty particularly suited to running. This could be because of the flat geographic landscape or because of the healthy benefits running brings you or maybe because running is an intensive sport which doesn't take too much time in order to satisfy body and mind.

We like to run with 20.000 people together on a Sunday afternoon. The Dutchman Cees Lansbergen(Le Champion) explored the company competition. Thousands of company teams love to compete to get the name 'best running company' from Holland.
The 'Dam tot Damloop' (Amsterdam - Zaandam), the 'Egmond Halve Marathon' (beach and dunes of Holland), the '7 heuvelenloop' (7 hills, Nijmegen) and the marathons of Amsterdam and Rotterdam are a few example in which more than 15.000 kids, adults, company employees and people in wheelchairs compete against each other. In total more than 2,5 million Dutchmen regularly run. That is around 15% of the total population.

Challenge other companies and show the Netherlands that you are a healthy sportive company!!
