If you register after February 2 or do not provide a Dutch address, you will need to pick up your bib number at the event venue.
If you change your distance after February 2, you can use your old start number for the new distance. There’s no need to visit the competition secretariat for this.
Bib numbers for Foreign Participants
Foreign participants (without a Dutch address) can pick up their start number during the event weekend. If you register by February 2, your name will be printed on the bib number.
Bib numbers for Schools (1 KM, 2.5 KM, and 5 KM)
Start numbers for schools on the 1 KM, 2.5 KM, and/or 5 KM that are ordered by February 2 will have the school name printed on them and will be sent by mail. Start numbers ordered after February 2 must be picked up at Malieveld and will not have the school name printed due to production time for the start numbers.
Bib Numbers for Companies
Bib numbers for corporate teams ordered by February 2 will have the company name printed on them and will be sent by mail. Bib numbers ordered after February 2 must be picked up at Malieveld and will not have the company name printed due to production time for the bib numbers.

You are strongly advised to fill out the medical passport on the back of your start number for your own safety. You must wear your bib number on your chest. The bib number is personal and non-transferable. In the event of an emergency, your bib number serves as a medical passport.
Course
The NN CPC Loop Den Haag features a fantastic course every year. The route starts and finishes at the Malieveld in The Hague. In 2025, we will once again have a fast and beautiful course that matches this major running event.
Stay tuned for the course announcement. Keep an eye on this page!
START WAVES
Start Waves Arrangement
The arrangement of the start waves is determined based on your expected finish time provided in the registration form. Due to the production of the bib numbers, it is possible to submit your expected finish time until February 2nd. After this, all participants are automatically assigned to the last start wave. Please note: changing the start wave is then no longer possible. You may always start in a later start wave. The compartments are indicated by color. In which starting box you should start is indicated on your bib number by the color of the starting box.
Fast Starting wave
Do you have a finish time recorded by MyLaps after March 1, 2023? In the registration form, you can enter your finish time. Based on registrations, the fastest runners may be placed in a fast corral. If you do not enter an expected finish time during registration, you will automatically be placed in the last corral.
To promote flow on the course, you are assigned to the start wave that is stated on your bib number. It is no longer possible to change your start wave. Make sure you are lined up in your start box at least 15-30 minutes before the start.

Is there time registration?
For the NN Half Marathon, 10 KM Run, 5 KM Run, and the Business Runs, your time will be recorded. An electronic chip is located on the back of your bib number. Please wear your bib number correctly to ensure your time is recorded.
Information to ensure good time registration:
- Wear your starting number visibly on your chest. Do not cover the bib number with a jacket or with your hands while passing the mats at the start and finish line. These mats capture the signal from your chip (Also, be sure to press your own stopwatch at the start and finish lines).
- Do not fold or wrinkle the bib number. Definitely not where the chip is located.
- Use four safety pins on the corners of the bib number; do not pierce the chip.
- Do not remove the plastic spacer.
You can keep the bib number as a souvenir or dispose of it with regular waste (plastic).
What is the official time?
The gun time is the official time. This starts when the starting shot is given and stops when you cross the finish line. The net time is the time that starts when you cross the mat on the starting line and stops when you cross the finish line. The net time/chip time is stated as an extra service.
Where are the toilets located?
Toilets can be found at the changing facilities, the start, the finish, every 2.5 km along the course, and at the relay points of the Business Runs.
Where can I find my results?
The results will be published on our website after the event. You will also receive the link to the results page by email after the event. Please note: the gun time is the official time. Do you have a question or comment about your result? Send an email to Mylaps Event Timing stating: your starting number and any times you have clocked yourself.
