Krollenloop 2026

The Krollenloop is an annual running event in Veghel, North Brabant, typically starting and finishing on the Markt. The name derives from the krol, a local pastry resembling a croissant or currant bun. The race accommodates a wide range of participants, offering 5 km and 10 km distances, a 10-mile race, a 2.5 km option, and a 1 km fun run for children and novices. The route varies slightly each year but generally incorporates the town centre and adjacent natural areas. The field consists largely of local and regional runners, giving the event a community atmosphere that also accommodates faster club runners and casual participants. Support services include changing facilities, medical assistance, and water stations. Post-race, participants receive a krol, and the day often features music in the event area.
