An NI-NL team of 20 athletes ran in the 27th Dam Tot Dam Race - one of the most fun running events in the world with 40000 participants in September 2011.
Despite extremely wet conditions (note sky colour above !), all NI-NL runners in the 10 mile (16.1 kms) business run from the center of Amsterdam through the IJtunnel to the finish in Zaandam, prepared well and all set personal best times.
The NI-NL team were kitted out in running shirts provided by The Foyle Food Group and Linden Foods, joint suppliers of Greenfields beef to Albert Heijn under the Puur en Eerlijk brand.
Despite the wet conditions, the runners followed long distance experts' advice and ensured that they rehydrated properly after the run !
From initial feedback the Dam to Dam run could become an annual fixture on the NI-NL activity calendar.
