It doesn't come around until September, but if you're interested in participating in the Dam tot Damloop you'd better register soon! It will be well worth it to join 40,000 other runners on Sunday, September 18, and run from the Prins Hendrikkade in the center of Amsterdam to the heart of Zaandam. Did I mention you'll have about 200,000 spectators cheering for you, and dozens of live music performances to speed you on your way?

It is still possible to register online, but only for a number of special events. These include the 4 EM (6.4 km), the Run2Day Ladies Damloop (4 EM) or the Mini Dam tot Dam runs (0.6 and 2.2 km). Participation in the 10 EM run is only possible through the organization's Charity Project.

If you don't want to run, don't forget to turn out. It's quite a spectacle!
