With over 2400 runners and 20 partners participating, this year’s businessrun was an even bigger success than previous editions. A large proportion of the runners were made up of Zuidas companies employees, their clients, families and friends.

During the lunch break, like last year, many bankers, consultants, medics, accountants, officials and lawyers were competing against each other on the 50m ‘pinstripe’ on the Gustav Mahlerplein.

Hosted by Jort Kelder and supported by hundreds of colleagues, fans and an army of photographers at the finish, the competitors were competing for the grand price of a €500 voucher made possible by partner Suitsupply.

Zuidas Run 2009: despite the rain the start of a tradition

So of course it rained on this important Sunday morning, the first bad weather in weeks.Throughout the Zuidas area, on the Gustav Mahlerplein and around the WTC area, the 2,000 runners took cover and for the most part did their warm ups inside the office buildings, usually crowded with suits, skirts and ties.
