DTS Amsterdamse Bos

About the race

The DTS Amsterdamse Bos is the Dutch Triathlon Series race in the Amsterdamse Bos. The swim is at the Grote Speelweide, in laps of 750 metres: one for the sprint, two for the olympic distance. The bike course is a loop of 8 kilometres on cycle paths fully closed to other traffic — three laps or five, depending on your distance — and the run then goes through the wood itself. Because the course is built from laps, you keep sight of the rest of the field and the start-finish area stays the centre of the day. The race has moved into the middle of the wood for as long as the Bosbaan is being rebuilt.
