The DSW Bruggenloop is a 15 km run over Rotterdam’s famous bridges, timed so that you run at sunset with the skyline lighting up and strings of lights along the bridges. It is a very Rotterdam way to end the running year, and a good excuse to see the Erasmusbrug on foot without the traffic.
This is the 34th edition. The race is sold out, so it is one for cheering unless you already have a bib.
