City-Pier-City Loop

The City-Pier-City Loop Half Marathon takes runners through The Hague's stately Dutch elegance. The course connects the city center to Scheveningen's scenic beachfront, passing royal palaces, government buildings, and peaceful parks. March's cool maritime climate provides ideal racing conditions despite occasional North Sea winds. The impeccably flat route follows wide, well-maintained boulevards that showcase Dutch urban planning at its finest. Local supporters bring understated but genuine encouragement in this diplomatically neutral city. The blend of historic grandeur, coastal beauty, and perfect organization creates a quintessentially Dutch racing experience in one of Europe's most important yet underrated capitals.
