There is plenty to do around town again in the coming time. Indoors and outdoors, so you can have an enterprising outing whatever the weather. Go out and get inspired by this small selection of activities on the Dordt Events.
Feasting your eyes during the half marathon
Athletics fans beware: the 47th edition of the Boels Rental Run is coming up on Saturday, March 8. This annual official road race is circled on the calendar of many athletics fans. The 21.1 km half marathon will be run by true competitive runners, the 5 and 10 km by recreational runners and there are several distances for youth (free of charge, at the FORTIUS athletics track). The beauty of this event is the course. The Dordt run goes over paved roads via a beautiful course along the Wantij and through the Hollandse Biesbosch. The Boels Rental Run - half marathon is an official Athletics Union road race/performance run. Through nature, so as participant you really see a beautiful part of Dordrecht.
Experience the Biesbosch
Go (with or without a guide) in search of beautiful birds and tracks in National Park de Biesbosch. With the trees still bare, tracks and birds are much easier to spot! Or board the first beaver tours of the season. At dusk, there's a good chance you'll spot these big nippers! Or discover the Biesbosch hiking at dusk during the twilight excursion on Saturday, March 1. The day turns into night, the time when many animals wake up and become active. For children, there is always something fun to do, too. The Beverbos, next to the visitor center, is definitely recommended! At the Biesbosch Center, you can buy a special treasure hunt that makes a visit to the Beverbos extra fun.
