Woellust Run

The Woellust Run is an annual neighborhood running event in Wildervank, Groningen. Organized by Wijkvereniging Woellust, it features 5 km and 10 km races, along with kids’ runs of 500 and 1000 meters. Initially a local challenge, it has evolved over ten years into a more competitive event while retaining its community spirit. The 10 km route consists of four laps of a 2.5 km course, incorporating thirty turns and passing through every street in the Woellust neighborhood. This design creates a winding race, distinct from a straightforward out-and-back course. Local businesses support the event, and a €50 Primera prize is offered for setting a new course record.
