Kerst-loop 2026

The Kerst-loop is a 5 km run or walk in Lelystad, themed around Santa Claus, with the route passing through the Paardenbos. It begins in the morning from Sportparkweg and limits participation to 100 people, making it more of a local holiday gathering than a large-scale race. A 1000 m route is available for children. AV Spirit Lelystad organizes the event and is affiliated with the Atletiekunie. Runners, walkers, youth entrants, business teams, and adapted-sport participants are welcome. On-site registration is permitted if spots remain. Costumes are encouraged, and participants receive free hot chocolate and Christmas cookies at the finish.
