- Where is the packet pickup and expo?
- The bib collection typically takes place at the Malieveld (Exhibition Area) near the start/finish line. It is open on Saturday and Sunday morning, but picking it up Saturday is highly recommended to avoid race-day stress.
- Is there a bag drop available?
- Yes, there is a secured bag storage facility at the Malieveld. Use the luggage tag attached to your race bib and ensure you drop it off at least 45 minutes before your wave start.
- What is the best way to get to the start line?
- Take the train to Den Haag Centraal Station. The Malieveld (race venue) is less than a 5-minute walk from the station. Driving is discouraged due to extensive road closures.
- Are pacers provided for the half marathon?
- Yes, 'Pacing Team' runners are available for several target times, ranging from 1:30 to 2:15. Look for the flags in the start corrals.
- What are the hydration stations like?
- Water and sports drinks are available every 5 kilometres. In the later stages of the half marathon, sponges and fruit (bananas) are also typically provided.
- What kind of clothing should I wear?
- March in the Netherlands is unpredictable. Expect temperatures between 5-10°C and possible wind. A light windbreaker or arm warmers that can be removed are recommended.
