the cycling round of Zandvoort 30 march 2025
The Omloop van Zandvoort is an annual cycling race that takes place in Zandvoort. With distances of 40, 80 and 120 km, the Omloop is ideal for both recreational and sporting cyclists. After the start from the spectacular Pitstraat on the Zandvoort F1 circuit, a large lap of 4 km is completed on the challenging and hilly circuit.
After the lap of the CM.com Circuit Zandvoort, the participants of the four distances cycle through the village and the dune area. All the participants drive through the dune area towards Langeveldseslag. The participants in the two longest distances continue their way towards South Holland. Via the aid station in Lisserbroek and the newly asphalted Langepad, cyclists head towards the Haarlemmermeerse Bos and along the Polderbaan.
The route runs along the Beautiful Nel near Haarlem. At Paviljoen Loef there is time for everyone to relax and gain new energy. For the 120 km cyclists, there is a nice climb ahead at het kopje van Bloemendaal. On the steepest part the gradient is almost 10%. These two longest distances also pass the pit stop at Villa Zomerdijk.
In Overveen all participants come together again on the route. From here we head towards Zandvoort via the dunes to return to the circuit along the coast. After the finish, participants can enjoy this sporting day together in the paddock of the circuit.
All participants in the cycling round of Zandvoort can make a voluntary contribution to the ALS Netherlands Foundation, the charity associated with the event, when registering. Make a donation when you register or donate directly to the ALS Netherlands Foundation.
ALS (Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a deadly nerve/muscle disease that affects 1,500 people in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, 500 patients are added every year and 500 people die from the consequences of this disease. The cause of ALS is unknown and a cure is not available, so there is no hope for a future – with an average life expectancy of 3 to 5 years after diagnosis – for these 1,500 patients. There is only one way to end ALS: scientific research. We have no time to lose.
During the Omloop van Zandvoort there are various activities for spectators, such as musical performances, stands with cycling gear and a special children’s course. There are also various aid stations along the route, where the riders can recover and freshen up. Do you have a special two-wheeler such as a recumbent or a scooter? Even then you are of course very welcome to discover the racing circuit and the coastal region of Zandvoort!
