Oostermaetloop

The Oostermaetloop is a winter cross run in Lettele, a village in the Salland region of the Netherlands. It is one race in the Sallands Cross Circuit, a series of ten winter cross-country events, offering runners four distances: 1 km for children up to 9, 2 km for youth up to 15, and 5 km or 10 km for runners aged 16 and over. The route crosses the De Oostermaet nature reserve, utilizing forest paths lined with rhododendron bushes and featuring muddy sections. On race day, Lettele becomes the sporting hub of Salland. This event is now in its ninth edition, with children, teenagers, and adult runners participating in the same winter-cross format.
