“Wassenaars 15” is organised by recreational runners. While training for half and full marathons they thought that the beautiful lanes and forests of Wassenaar are ideal for a regional running event. But one in which the runners can celebrate their achievement with a smashing afterparty. The 10th edition will be held on October 13th 2024.

Your challenge: the race

Very simple: we start at 14:30 and run as fast as we can. There is no cash prize for the winner. However, we have a large “trophy cabinet” for the fastest couple, oldest runner, “last runner-up” and off course the “Coupe d’Elegance” for the most beautifully dressed lady / gentleman.

On the route you get refreshment stations at 5 and 11 kilometers. On the entire route you’ll see cheering spectators and loud music to help you through. Halfway you’ll get some fruit as well.

Or your challenge 2.0: half the race

Is 15 a little too much? Register for the 7500. Half the effort, double the fun.

You start at 14:30 with the other runners on the same track. After Town Hall “De Paauw” 15 runners turn left and you turn right. Shortly thereafter you are back on the 15 track, but miles ahead of the 15 runners. You finish much earlier and start the party with your fellow 7500 runners.

Your party

If you have ran 15 kilometers, you deserve a party! And volunteers, friends and family want to share this achievement with you. So join in and dance with Dance Classics, Apres-ski, Motown!

Most runners arrive between 15.30 and 16.15. When the last runner comes in the prize giving ceremony begins. Don’t expect a dull speech with meager applause. Believe us: we know how a party should be.

There are several stands with good food, so you can replenish the calories burned. BTW: food is not included in the registration fee. Information on food reservations will follow soon. The afterparty is Sensation White, so white walking clothes are recommended.

After the prizegiving ceremony our DJ will beat you up till app. 19.00. And than it’s over! Thank you, goodbye, see you next year.

Your Charity

The best charity is you. You run the 15 of Wassenaar mainly for yourself. Isn’t it fantastic you are physically able to run this beautiful route and to make the party. We like to encourage you also to take a look at others who could use your support.

Included in your registrationfee is a € 10,- chip (or 5 or 20, your choice) which you can donate to one of the two selected charities. You receive a solid brick at the finish line. Put this at the stack of your selected charity and your contribution is done!

We select a local and a national charity, which will be published on this page.
