Bertusloop

The Bertusloop is a local road race in Kerkpolder, near Delft in the Netherlands, offering 5 km and 10 km distances. It takes place on the third Sunday of each month, excluding July and August, beginning at 11:00 from Party Centrum Onder Ons on Kerkpolderweg. The entry fee is €2, reflecting the event's understated club atmosphere. The 5 km route consists of one circuit of Kerkpolder, and the 10 km route follows the same course twice. DIJC-Bertus, a Delft running club with approximately 150 members from the local region, puts on the race and uses Onder Ons as its headquarters. Participants can register at the race table starting at 10:00 or sign up online beforehand. The venue provides parking, changing facilities, and showers. The club's philosophy is that performance is permitted but not mandatory, so the Bertusloop is designed for both regular local runners and casual joggers, as well as those aiming for a personal best.
