Enjoy two sportive days of sea, beach, dunes and woods

The PWN Egmond Walking Marathon will take place on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 January 2011. This pleasant event, that also makes a contribution to the rheumatism fund, drew 16,129 walkers and Nordic walking enthusiasts to the North Holland coast in 2010. In seven editions the PWN Egmond Wandel Marathon, with distances of 10 and 21 km, has grown into a distinctive celebration of walking. A varied and attractive route over the North Sea beach, through the North Holland Dune Reserves and the dunes of Schoorl, free snacks and a Walkers Expo are just a few of the things that await you during the PWN Egmond Walking Marathon.

Special two day Nordic walking event
The special two day Nordic walking event will once again form part of the programme in 2011! Both the current routes along the North Holland Dune Reserves will be used on both days. On the first day the Nordic walking participants will walk from Egmond on the south route, while the other walkers will walk the north route. The reverse applies on the second day.

Entry for the 8th edition starts on 1 September 2010 and will close on 10 January 2011 (or earlier if the limit of 13,000 walkers - excluding Nordic walkers - is reached). Please note it will not be possible to enter on the day of the event.
