After some training hikes, we will finally start our journey with a first 22km of the Egmond Wandel Marathon. The course runs along the beach and through the dunes of the Noordhollands Duinreservaat. A beautiful natural area that can also be a tough challenge due to the loose sand, changing weather conditions and rolling terrain. Originally it was supposed to be a 21km walk, but due to the heavy rain, the organisation decided to reroute some parts in which it becomes a 22km trail. Unfortunately my wife suffered a knee injury in which she will pass on this event. But our son (Ryan) decided to join me in my first training and he will take over to join me in Egmond. In the meantime he got so enthusiastic about the training and the Alpe d'Huzes event, that he wants to join as a volunteer during the Alpe d'Huzes and take over somebody's number in case they are unable to do the final climb.
Stay tuned to read more about the Egmond Wandel Marathon in our next blog.
