Join the ultimate Dutch running celebration at the 2026 NN Dam tot Damloop, as the event celebrates its historic 40th anniversary on September 19 and 20, 2026. Organized by Le Champion, this iconic race is far more than just a competition; it is a massive athletic festival that connects two cities, starting in Amsterdam and finishing in Zaandam. Renowned for its unparalleled atmosphere and the unique "goosebumps" experience of running through the IJtunnel, the Dam tot Damloop attracts over 50,000 participants, solidifying its reputation as the largest and most spirited running event in the Netherlands.
The 40th-edition weekend offers a diverse program, centered around the flagship 10 English Miles (16.1km) and the accessible 5 English Miles (8km). For corporate teams, the event hosts one of the world's largest Business Runs, where over 25,000 colleagues compete together before heading to the vibrant NN Dam tot Dam Park for the legendary post-race celebrations. To mark four decades of racing history, the 2026 event introduces the Premium Business Package, offering enhanced networking and relaxation opportunities, ensuring that the milestone anniversary is felt at every level of the race experience.
Registration for this anniversary edition follows a staggered schedule, with Le Champion members gaining early access from April 6 to April 17, followed by regular registration opening on Saturday, April 18, 2026. As an AIMS-certified event that has welcomed national icons and international top athletes for decades, the NN Dam tot Damloop is the definitive bucket-list race for any runner. Whether you are chasing a personal best on the fast route to Zaandam or simply want to be part of the "Greatest Running Party in the Netherlands," the 2026 40-week countdown promises surprises and a race day like no other.
