Location
Know Before You Go
- Parking: Free bicycle parking is available at Biesieklette Noordboulevard; there are several parking garages nearby.
- Pets: Leashed dogs are welcome, though dogs are not allowed at every location.
Tips & Advice
- Register early, because early-bird places are limited and start waves can sell out, and you can only switch waves in your dashboard while places remain.
- Keep the email with your walking card number handy, printed or on your phone, because cards aren't posted and must be collected at EVE Scheveningen.
- Wear sturdy walking shoes and dress for the forecast, because the route follows the boulevard and crosses the dunes on a November evening.
- Light yourself up with fairy lights or bring your own lamps, as the organisers ask every walker to do before setting off on the route.
- Take tram 9 or bus 21 or 23 to the Zwarte Pad stop, about ten minutes on foot from the start, because the organisers recommend public transport.
Special Events & Promotions
- New this year: the walk returns in a renewed form as the Light Walk voor KWF, raising money for cancer research.

- Raise the fundraising target for KWF before 4 November 2026 and KWF buys your start ticket and gives you a free Wandel tegen kanker shirt.
