Dam Tot Dam Hiking Event

I hiked the Dam tot Dam walking event in 2012. The event offers four distances: 9, 18, 26, and 40 km, and I completed the 18 km route. It was my first organized hike after successfully finishing the Vierdaagse van Nijmegen in 2009. The Dam tot Dam event is organized by Le Champion, which also hosts cycling and running events. Usually, the hiking takes place on Saturday, while the running event is held on Sunday.

The 18 Km Dam Tot Dam Route In 2012

The start was at the Royal Palace on the Dam Square in Amsterdam. The route led through the centre of Amsterdam, then continued into Amsterdam‑Noord, Molenwijk, and finally to the finish in Zaandam. Back then, the section in Amsterdam‑Noord was the greenest part of the route, even though I was walking on asphalt, the surroundings were remarkably green. I wonder whether it still looks the same today. The Dam tot Dam Walk was my first hiking event after successfully completing the Vierdaagse van Nijmegen in 2009, and I received my medal at the finish in Zaandam (2012).
