What if the city becomes your race track?

REAL ENERGY RACE – SCAN. RUN. WIN

PassaRunning x ON – Real Energy Race

Together with ON, we’re launching the Real Energy Race. From April 21 to 25, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht will transform into one big interactive race, where the streets become a challenging course. You decide when you run, which route you take, and how often you participate. Note: There is only one race start location per city. The three meeting points are: Nous (Amsterdam), Wolly (Rotterdam), and the PassaRunning store in Utrecht.

During the Real Energy Race, you run from billboard to billboard, which act as checkpoints throughout the city. Scan the starting point, get guided to the next location, and set your fastest time. Are you the fastest and can you beat the city?

You choose when you run, where you run, and how often you participate. Meanwhile, you compete against runners from other cities, aiming to set the fastest time. The fastest times per city will be rewarded, there are prizes for the most dedicated participants who complete the race in all three cities, and extra prizes during the different events.

This week, we’re organizing three special events in Utrecht, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam. Here you can test the On Cloudmonster 3, the ultimate running shoe for speed and comfort, and take on the Real Energy Race together. Good news for runners in Utrecht: throughout the entire week, test pairs from ON will be available at the PassaRunning store—also the starting point of the race—to try out the On Cloudmonster 3.

Are you fast enough to beat the city?

 

What is the Real Energy Race?

The Real Energy Race is a new way of running. Not a traditional race, but an urban race experience where the city becomes your course.

  • Billboards as checkpoints
    Scan a billboard and start your race (8-10 km). You will receive a checkpoint (there will be 3 to 4 in total), and you have to find them yourself (for example, using Google Maps).

  • Your route, your pace
    You’ll be guided to the next location via billboards

  • Race against the clock
    Your time starts with your first scan

  • Keep improving
    Join as often as you want and beat your own time (or others’)

  •  

    Prizes & Rewards

    • 🏆Top 3 fastest times per city
    • 🔁Most runs overall
    • 🌍Participants who complete all three cities
    • 🎁Extra prizes during the events
