In addition, winds above force 6 expected. For the sake of safety of participants, visitors and volunteers Saturday decided to cancel the Dam Open.
The Dam now remains just contrary to earlier reports about a block open to traffic.
Between 04:00 and 08:00 there is a big chance of a thunderstorm and that is precisely when the runners cross the dam. ” Based on the current forecasts, we can not guarantee that we can organize the event safely, ” said Koen Hermens organizer of House of Sports. Rijkswaterstaat and the concerned municipalities agrees.
Hermens calls it irresponsible to 7,500 participants, 2,000 fans and 500 volunteers to run in an open area surrounded by water, reducing the risk of lightning is significant.
Night
It was intended that the Dam between 01:00 Saturday night and 12:00 Sunday was closed to traffic because of the one-off race. Middle of the night, the participants all over the dike would (32.8 kilometers), half (16.4 kilometers), or a quarter of the dike (8.2 km) run.
The proceeds were intended for charities like the Thrombosis Foundation and Muscles for Muscles.
We are looking for another date. Postponement of the event was not an option because the Dam, according to the promise Sunday 12.00 would open to traffic.
