The annual Puinduin Run organised by RTC (Residentie Triathlon Club) will take place on Sunday, 22 January in and around the Puinduinen at Ockenburgh (Kijkduin).

The Puinduin Run has been a notion since 2004. This cross-country race is one of the toughest in its category in the Netherlands mainly because of the differences in altitude which the runner has to endure. However, the magnificent view over the city of The Hague, the sea, beach and dunes at the top of the course will be well worth the effort and sweat.

Participants may choose to run the distance that best suits their capabilities: 3.5 (1 round), 7 (2 rounds) or 10.5 kilometres (3 rounds). The 10K run is also available for teams of three runners.

The event starts at 11.00 hrs. at the end of the Wijndaelerweg in The Hague. Participants can pick up their bib numbers between 9.30 and 10.40 hrs. on the morning itself. Online registration started on 1 November through the website of the Puinduin Run (€ 8). Click on 'Inschrijven' to register. The event is limited to 500 participants.

RTC is the general endurance sports and triathlon club of The Hague. It is one of the oldest triathlon clubs in the Netherlands. RTC is a club for everyone who would like to perform endurance sports, such as swimming, biking (on-road as well as mountain biking), skating and running.

Information on the race (in Dutch) can be found on the website of the Puinduin Run.
