About Beach Challenge

The Beach Challenge is the oldest cross triathlon in the Netherlands. It is by no means a simple, straightforward triathlon, but really one 'as it should be': an individual, sometimes tough battle against the elements and yourself. And a fantastically beautiful one, with a wonderfully rugged nature trail. It is not for nothing that the Haagse Courant wrote after the first edition in 1998 “This is just a triathlon!”

The event has grown into an accessible two-day sports/beach festival with activities for young and old, on and on the beach. The Beach Run running race is now widely known and well attended. The main event is still the triathlon, which presents new challenges every year due to the changes in the natural playing field of the sea, beach and dunes.
