‘Nice and refreshing’ to run into the water with hundreds of people at the Haarrijnseplas in Utrecht

Nice and refreshing to run into the water with hundreds

Around 11 am the first participants are already gathering at the beach. Put on a hat, warm up a bit and then run into that water. Even though it is warm for the time of year, not everyone is looking forward to the cold water. “People say it’s the warmest New Year’s Day ever, but I think the water is cold.”
