Fulfilment Dam tot Damloop
More and more organisations outsource the fulfilment of race numbers to us. Packing and sending race numbers is an extension of our race number production and chip service. PROM'ES also takes care of the fulfilment of race numbers for the Dam tot Damloop.
Sold out edition
With 60,000 participants, this year's Dam tot Damloop was once again completely sold out. Jonathan Kamosong from Kenya was the surprise winner in the men's race. He ran the world's largest 10-mile race in a time of 46:09. In an exciting neck-and-neck race with last year's winner, Asayech Ayichew, Kenya's Hellen Obiri showed her world-class talent in the final sprint. The athlete clocked a time of 50.51, which was just not enough to break the course record (50.31, 1987).
TYVEK race numbers
Four weeks before the event, PROM’ES prints all TYVEK race numbers for the participants of the Dam tot Damloop. In the weeks leading up to this, the designs for all running components of the Dam tot Damloop are coordinated with the organisation. A race number is an organisational tool and a sponsorship tool: PROM'ES produces balanced TYVEK race numbers that make optimal use of all aspects. PROM'ES offers various product options and personalisation possibilities. You can read more about this in the TYVEK race numbers blog.
Chip service for race numbers
The race number is the carrier of the timing chip. PROM'ES works with various large time registration systems in Europe. The event organiser determines which system to use and informs us accordingly.
As soon as the first race number for the Dam tot Damloop rolls off the printer, the race numbers are machine chipped. The chip machine reads the race number, programmes the chip and attaches it to the back of the race number. Every race number with a chip is correct; a log file is generated for verification purposes.
Machine chipping of race numbers prevents errors. It also saves a lot of time. Interested in ready-made race numbers with tags? Ask about the possibilities!
Printed envelopes
The envelope is the first impression of an event. As soon as the envelope lands on the participant's doormat, the excitement begins! Various envelope sizes have been selected for the Dam tot Damloop, matching the contents and suitable for flawless processing in our envelope stuffing machine.
Fulfilment: Packing of race numbers
PROM’ES is responsible for fulfilment of the 60,000 participants envelopes for the Dam tot Damloop. Participants in the ten English Miles will, of course, receive their race number and a special NN Dam tot Damloop clothing bag. They can hand this in at the clothing collection point on Stationsplein in Amsterdam and will then receive a sticker with a number so they can collect the bag again in Zaandam. For the Mini Dam tot Damloop and the Heroes Run, coach race numbers and buddy race numbers without chips are included in the package. When registering for the Dam tot Damloop, participants can optionally order additional items. PROM'ES also takes care of the packaging of these additional items, BibBits and running shirts. Packaging shirts in particular is a complex logistical challenge. Each distance has its own shirt variant, in women's and men's versions and in sizes XS to XXXL.
Fulfilment for the business run
The Dam tot Damloop has the largest Business Run in the world. With a team of at least five and at most ten colleagues, you run five or ten English miles.
PROM'ES takes care of packaging the race numbers for the no less than 3,000 business teams. These teams receive a package with five or ten race numbers, pins and clothing bags. They also receive tokens for refreshments at the festival grounds. The person organising the event within the company receives a wristband and a free running shirt. Companies also have the option of ordering extra running shirts, tokens and snack vouchers during registration. Each package is put together and packaged individually.
Sending out race numbers
No later than the week of the event, Dutch participants in the Dam tot Damloop and the companies will receive the race numbers by post. PROM’ES delivers the shipment to PostNL. This way, your organisation benefits from our favourable rates.
Are you interested?
The weeks leading up to an event are peak time for the organisation! That is why more and more organisations are outsourcing the packaging of race numbers. Interested? Then contact us without obligation. We will be happy to be of service.
