The Lichtjesroute Run guides groups through Eindhoven along the illuminated ornaments of the city’s Lichtjesroute. This paved road race in Brabant, organized by Eindhoven Atletiek, offers September evening options of 8 km, 12 km, 14 km, and 22 km, rather than a single race distance.
Runners select both a distance and a pace group, then follow the course with running and cycling pacers. Certain distance-pace groups are limited to 20 participants, making the event resemble a guided night run more than a large open start. The entry fee includes a special Lichtjesroute Run shirt, although late entrants might not receive their preferred size.
