BEST VIEWING SPOTS
The swim start
Be at the Rijkerswoerdseplas early for the swim start: an impressive moment of the day. The Full Distance starts at 07:00, De Eigenwijze at 08:50, the Quarter at 09:00 and the Half at 09:45.
The bike course
The athletes ride a 45 km lap. Every athlete comes past at least once. The atmosphere at the start/finish is superb, or pick another spot that appeals to you most. Keep yourself, the athletes and everyone around you safe! And follow the instructions of the organisation.
The transition area
This is where you see participants between the disciplines: from swim to bike and from bike to run. Central on the event site, close to the finish.
The run lap & the finish
The run course goes around the lakes and through Park Lingezegen. Stand at the aid stations on the Kerkstraat and by the car park on the 1e Weteringsewal, and don't miss the finish.
PRACTICAL & TIPS
Plan with the programme
Check the start times and expected finish times so you can cheer your athlete on at exactly the right moments.
View the programmeParking & getting there
Car park P1 is right beside the event site at Rijkerswoerdsestraat 4, Elst. It is closed between 08:45 and 16:30; park at P2 (about 500 metres) or P3 (about 1.3 km) instead, both within walking distance. Parking is free. Come in good time, it's busy around the start. Campers report to the separate entrance.
Food & drink
There is a restaurant on site for spectators. For the long day, also bring a chair, sunscreen and/or rainwear.
Cheering tips
Write your athlete's name on a sign, make noise with a horn and stand in recognisable spots. A familiar face on the course gives an enormous boost.
