Information about The In-Person Sunflower Run

We have permission from the owner of Vlietland and the Leidschendam -Voorburg Gemeente to hold the Sunflower Run. We have made a risk assessment for the event.

The run/walk is a 7.5 km loop around the Vlietland lake in Voorschoten. We will meet on the beach near the Gele Lis parking lot at Vlietland at 3pm. This is a different car park to last years. Please see map below.

When you arrive, please go to the registration table.

Bring your own water bottle. There will be a water stop half way round the run and water at the start/finish.

The runners will start in small groups.

Time your own run if you want to take part in our fastest run competition.

If you have small children with you, please stay with them at all times.

Thank you for signing up, we look forward to seeing you on the 9th July.
