During the RUN around the Rantum basin, you can enjoy the view of the Wadden Sea National Park and experience the vastness of the North Sea along the entire running route. The running takes place exclusively on dykes. The difficulty of the Rantum basin circuit is the wind, which comes at least once from the front due to the square route layout. Occasionally, you have to avoid a sheep or open a sheep gate. However, there are no altitude meters to overcome on the flat paths, and no roads or traffic lights cross the route.
Author’s recommendation
The route of the RUN around the Rantum basin is great for running outside of the event. Here, clearing your mind is guaranteed!
