Run for Fun

Run for Fun at Hotel Jansen Bajeskwartier is a relaxed and social running event created for anyone who enjoys moving together in a welcoming and low-pressure environment. The event is open to all fitness levels and running paces, making it just as suitable for experienced runners as for people who simply want to get outside, stay active, and meet others in an informal setting. Rather than focusing on speed, distance, or competition, Run for Fun is centered around connection, community, and enjoying the experience together.

Every Saturday, participants gather at Café Jansen at 10:00 in the morning before heading out together for the run. The relaxed start allows people to meet, have a coffee, and ease into the morning before exploring the city at a comfortable pace. The atmosphere is intentionally informal and accessible, encouraging guests and locals alike to join without pressure or expectations.

The idea behind the event is simple: bring people together through movement in an approachable and enjoyable way. Participants are encouraged to run at their own pace, chat along the route, and enjoy the social aspect of the experience just as much as the exercise itself. Whether guests join for the physical activity, the community feeling, or simply to start the weekend in an energizing and positive way, Run for Fun creates an easy opportunity to connect with fellow travelers, students, locals, and long-stay guests.

Run for Fun reflects the wider spirit of Hotel Jansen, creating shared experiences that feel genuine, inclusive, and community-driven. The event regularly brings together a diverse mix of people, contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that defines the hotel’s community culture. It is not about performance or competition, but about creating a positive shared moment through movement, conversation, and connection.

Whether joining every week or participating once during a stay in Amsterdam, Run for Fun offers an enjoyable and accessible way to experience the social side of Hotel Jansen while staying active in the city.
