Zevenheuvelenloop 2026

If you want a race with character, the Zevenheuvelenloop in Nijmegen ticks all the boxes: a lively city, Gelderland as the backdrop, and an atmosphere that carries you from the first to the very last meter, even when things get a bit rolling (you’ll soon understand why people talk about “seven hills”) ⛰️.

You come to enjoy yourself, push your limits, or simply prove to yourself that 15 km is something you can later talk about with a smile: here, the course takes you on a journey between city and nature, and every “little bump” gives you a great excuse to savor the finish 🏁.

Want an extra magical touch? There’s also a night version: Nijmegen lights up, the cheers sound different, and you run as if the city were giving you a guard of honor! 🌙

After the finish, stick around near the start area and treat yourself to Nijmegen as a reward: a stroll on the Grote Markt for the vibe, a stop by De Waalkade along the Waal to catch your breath, and a detour to Valkhof Park and its ruins for the postcard view.
