Preparations for the Open Dutch 2027 are underway. We just received the poster for the 2027 edition, and 2CREATE and Carlo Terburg have done a great job with the design and the photos. Thanks for your help. We hope you like the poster as much as we do, and we hope to see you all on Saturday the 30th of January 2027!
We just received links to the first photo sets that were placed online, and we’ve also posted our own photo set on Facebook. Feel free to use the photos, and make sure to tag Open-Dutch on Instagram, Facebook etc. We had a fantastic day, and we cannot wait to see everyone again next year!
We know many of you have appreciated the special prize for Open Dutch winners that we have been handing out, and we are sure that those who win this year will be proudly wearing this year’s prize! We’ve asked Harry Gentenaar of Studio HG to design a winner’s shirt, and we love the design and hope you do too!
This is the moment many of you have been waiting for! The draws and the timetable (estimation!) can be found on sportdata. As you can see, we have a very packed agenda again, so make sure to listen to the announcers and watch the screens! When your group comes up, please go to the appropriate designated holding area. We cannot afford to wait for competitors, so listen carefully and watch the screens closely!
Coaches and competitors, please note the following times for the weigh-in and the height check on Friday and Saturday! A declaration of consent and data protection is mandatory for each competitor (see the last page of the invitation). The form needs to be handed in at the verification and weigh-in/height check on the 30th or the 31st. Please weigh in, if possible, on Friday to avoid long queues on Saturday!
Every competitor needs to hand in the declaration of consent and data protection form, so please make sure to do this on Friday between 18:00 and 20:00 or on Saturday between 7:15 and 8:15. This applies to everyone who wants to participate, regardless of age. If you are a minor, your parents (or legal guardian) will have to sign the agreement as well.
The competition will start at 9:15, we will start on time, and we will not extend the weigh-in time slot so make sure to be there on time! We do not make any exceptions!
