The RUN around the Rantum Basin takes place every year in September and leads from Rantum harbor in a clockwise direction around the Rantum Basin.

During the RUN around the Rantum Basin, you can enjoy views of the Wadden Sea National Park and experience the expanse of the North Sea along the entire route. The route runs entirely on dikes. The challenge of the Rantum Basin circuit is the wind, which blows from the front at least once due to the square-shaped course. Occasionally, you'll have to dodge a sheep or open a sheep gate. However, the flat paths don't involve any elevation gain, and there are no roads or traffic lights along the route.
