Boomkroonpad Cross Drouwen

The Boomkroonpad Cross Drouwen begins at the Boomkroonpad site on Steenhopenweg in Drouwen, within the Dutch Hondsrug area. This late-autumn cross-country race offers two straightforward choices: a youth race covering approximately 4.7 km and a men’s and women’s race of about 9.3 km. Both races commence at 11:00. The entry fee is a modest €3, with registration opening on the morning of the race. Late registration is not permitted once the official period concludes. The event is included in the Geopark Hondsrug cross circuit. Loopgroep SGO, Gieten, and Vomos are collaborating on its organization. The longer route features steep inclines adjacent to the expansive lake at Nije Hemelriek, a segment participants highlighted as the most satisfying. Race accounts indicate a dry course, temperatures slightly above freezing, minimal wind, and participants dressed in a mix of shorts and warmer gear, including gloves.
