Dwars Door Dongen

Dwars Door Dongen is an annual road race held in Dongen, Brabant, starting and finishing at the local sports park or athletics track. Organized by Atledo, with MDM Verhuur noted in event coverage, the program includes both competitive races and recreational runs. The primary distances are 5 km and 10 km, supplemented by children's runs, an English Mile, and a Specials Run, offering dedicated participation opportunities for younger runners and diverse groups. The race takes place on paved roads, and the route is described as quite winding, making fast 10 km times noteworthy. Motorcycles precede the runners, a practical measure that also contributes to the event's local race-day atmosphere. Club runners from the area participate alongside casual runners; past reports mention Spiridon athletes securing podium positions, Robert Jongh completing the 10 km in just under 33 minutes, and Dyanne Verpaalen winning the women's 5 km while ranking high overall. Dwars Door Dongen is also part of the Regio13 Road Circuit, connecting it with other road races in Brabant.
