Record number of participants at soaking wet 4 Miles from Assen

Despite the harsh autumn weather, the turnout was huge during the 4 Miles of Assen running race. A record number of 1,500 participants completed the course through the Marsdijk district at the fastest possible pace.

The organization of the event was visibly satisfied with the number of participants. “We visited many primary schools in preparation for the event to bring this event to the attention of the children. We are therefore very pleased with the turnout, because about four hundred children are participating. A wonderful number”, concludes the organizer Bertjan Marree.

After the kids run there were various activities where the children could enjoy themselves all afternoon. “We have a Formula 1 simulator where you feel like a full-fledged driver. And after the run, the children have the opportunity to get something tasty at the poffertjes stall, for example.”

After the kids run it was time for the adults, where more than 1,100 participants appeared at the start. Within a period of more than twenty minutes, the first fanatics trickled in. Marree can therefore look back on a successful edition. “And luckily it’s far from over, because tonight the Tributeband Touch of Toto will come by and we’re going to have a great party.”
