Mescherbergloop 2026

The Mescherbergloop is an annual running event in Eijsden, located in the southernmost part of Limburg, near the village of Mesch. Its routes traverse the Savelsbos and the rolling countryside surrounding Eijsden, offering race options from a Kidsrun up to a half marathon. The Maasrunners organize the event, which has been a fixture on the local running calendar for over 30 years. The course presents a varied terrain, not a flat road run: it incorporates hills, meadows, climbs, descents, and a well-known staircase path near Eijsden and Mesch. The primary 10 km race attracts more seasoned runners, while the 5 km provides a shorter option for those new to the event. A 16 km route extends through the Savelsbos and the hills around Eijsden and Mesch, and participants include both local and regional runners.
