Help the runners cool down with a shower

It could get warm during the Leiden Marathon on Sunday. That’s why the organisation is calling on spectators to help cool down the runners.

Anyone living along the course or present there is asked to set up a refreshing spray shower. This can easily be done with a garden hose on the spray setting or by partially pinching the hose to create a fine mist. Important: do not aim the stream directly at the runners. This way they can choose for themselves whether they want to run through the cooling spray. Please use approximately half of the road, so participants who prefer to stay dry can easily pass by.

With this help, spectators make it much more pleasant and safer for the runners.
The organisation thanks everyone in advance for their effort and involvement!
