The 100 Bridges Run is a (heavy!) fun run without any competition element. Bridging all bridges and enjoying the scenery is what it’s all about for us. That’s why we don’t keep track of times

Supply posts

You will encounter supply posts with water during the run on Sunday around the 5 km (Marebrug, no. 22), the 10 km (Van Disselbrug, no. 39), the 15 km (Kerkbrug, no. 72) and at the finish (Vismarkt). Please put your (paper) drinking cup in the garbage bag after use. Would you like to eat or drink something more extensive before or afterwards? Immediately around the Vismarkt are many nice coffee/breakfast/luncheons with a terrace.

On Saturdays during the walk we do not have our own water stations, but you do walk past various fine catering establishments with terraces and shops.
