SUNLIT ZUIDAS RUN

Friday evening June 16th the annual Zuidas Run took place. And another great success it was. Multiple business teams took part in the run and crossed the finish line together. One of them being the Colliers team of thirteen employees. The distance of 10 kilometers, combined with the high temperatures, turned out to be a real challenge. The race started on the iconic Zuidas and followed us through the tall buildings to the greenery along the Amstel. After the finish, everyone became equal with a Zuidas Run medal. The atmosphere was good then, with a fun after party. Next year Colliers will start again. Organization, thank you for your efforts. It was a nice mix of sportsmanship and fun!

Zuidas is best known as Amsterdam’s business district, chock-a-block with skyscrapers and scores of offices. More recently, however, the district has grown into a veritable urban neighbourhood and a great place to live and hang out. Many businesses have also discovered Zuidas, and with their arrival, the district has added a wide range of services and amenities, including shops, schools, fitness centres and places to drink and dine. Powering each of these establishments are entrepreneurs and employees with their own special, personal stories that we’re eager to share with you.
