Getting started

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 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.
