About us
The moment of inspiration
It was late summer 2009. Hans-Peter ("HP" to his friends) and Paul were running through Amsterdam. It must have been early morning,
because the sun, still coloured orange, was rising and suddenly appeared between a bell gable and a stepped gable in the very heart of Amsterdam.
The city was at its prettiest, the 18th-century houses mirrored in the canals with a little help from the sun. Amsterdam was still asleep,
unaware of the splendid natural beauty outside. Unlike us: trained athletes and "Amsterdammers", we inhaled Amsterdam with every breath and every stride we took.
And so we ran on, half in a trance at all the beauty surrounding us, and we started chatting about what a privilege it was to be able
to combine our love of sport with our passion for our city. Suddenly an idea struck us: why not share it with the rest of the world? Tourists,
whether they come from the Netherlands or abroad, should also be able to experience this magical feeling. To explore and enjoy Amsterdam in a
relaxed but sporting way! Let's make it happen.
And so we did and here we are. We'd like to get to know you and for you to discover Amsterdam. We'll show you around in a one-hour (or thereabouts) running tour,
taking in all the highlights. And when you get back to your hotel, you'll be filled with new sweet memories of one of the most romantic places on Earth: Amsterdam!
Both of us are members of an Amsterdam triathlon club. Most of our guides are too. All of them are well-trained athletes.
They know Amsterdam and will be able to give you background info on lots of the places of interest you'll pass by.
All are officially licensed as guides by the city council.
Let the fun begin! Book us so that once you're back home, you'll be able to say: "Yes, we ran... Amsterdam!"
