Rotterdam Coastal Races 2026 – Endurance Scheveningen

A.R.S.R. Skadi and KR&ZV de Maas look forward to welcoming you on Saturday 23 May at the Scheveningsche Roeivereeniging. Following the success of previous editions, this year’s Rotterdam Coastal Race will once again take place on and along the North Sea. The event coincides with the North Sea Regatta (NSR), meaning there is plenty more to enjoy alongside the Coastal races! We are very much looking forward to it and hope to welcome you in large numbers on Scheveningen beach!
