Almost missed posting about our first Urban Trail, which was awesome. On July 2, Ashlynn joined Jimmy and me for The Hague Urban Trail, a 10K non-competitive run through buildings in the city center. It started next to the Hofvijver across from Parliament and included 18 stops, many of which were buildings that we ran through. Our first stop was The Hague Historical Museum followed by the Escher Museum where we ran up to the first floor and then down to the basement and exited out of a back door. Later we went through Humanity House, a museum focusing on refugees.
We had a lot of respect for the organizers of this event as they found so many interesting places to take us through including Resident Restaurant and its kitchen, followed by a horse stable and then the royal gardens.
We visited these two hofjes (housing for the poor) dating back to the 17th century.
How fun to run through four theaters: movie theater Pathe, Nuthuis built in an old bank vault, Paard which hosts concerts and the National Theater.
Ashlynn had run ahead so missed out when we took this selfie at Leiden University The Hague...
...and when this photo was taken after we had passed through the auction house. The three of us all loved this race and look forward to doing more in other Dutch cities in 2018.
