It takes place on the third Monday of July as the closing event of the four-day Stompwijk Horse Days.
This event, organized by the Nooit Gedacht Foundation since 1909, attracts nationally renowned drivers and horses.
In a knockout system, 24 horses trot in pairs over a course of 295-310 meters, with the horse that wins two legs first advancing.
The grass track, the atmospheric floral ambiance, and the enthusiastic crowd make it special.
In 2014, it was designated an intangible cultural heritage site.
The event combines sport, tradition, and a village festival with a fair and other activities.
