Running and cycling your way around Zandvoort – All the best run and cycle routes when visiting for the Dutch Grand Prix
Heading to the Dutch Grand Prix? Make the most of the weekend with running, cycling, and outdoor workout routes in and around Zandvoort. From beach dashes to scenic dune trails and longer rides to nearby towns, there’s something for every ability – and a perfect adventure for fans short on time.
When Formula 1 lands in Zandvoort, the seaside town becomes a buzzing festival of all things motorsport – racing, high-energy and, of course, bright orange. Fans pour in from around the world to watch the drama unfold at the Circuit Zandvoort – but how do you make the most of your time outside of the racing action?
With many supporters only in town for a long weekend, it can often feel like there’s little time to properly explore. That’s exactly why running and cycling are such good options: they let you cover ground quickly, soak up the scenery, and experience more of Zandvoort than you’d see just travelling between the train station and the grandstands.
That’s why we’ve put together this guide. Whether you’re a casual jogger, a weekend rider, or a seasoned endurance athlete, there are routes here to suit every ability and every pocket of spare time.
