Midzomeravondloop Bleiswijk 2026

The Midzomeravondloop begins at De Sneeuwbal on Lange Vaart in Bleiswijk, guiding runners into the Rottemeren area via marked paths. Athletics and Walking Association De Kieviten organizes this evening run, which includes aid stations and three race distances: 1500 meters for those 15 and under, 5 kilometers for runners 14 and older, and 16.1 kilometers (10 English miles) for adults. The event features a straightforward, community-focused setup. Younger runners have a dedicated short race, while adults can select between the 5K or the 10-mile distance. Participants can pre-select if they wish to receive a finisher medal. The start location recently changed; parking at the venue is limited, so organizers suggest arriving by bicycle or carpooling. Additional parking is available at the day campsite on Bleiswijkse Zoom, approximately 280 meters from the start, though it may fill quickly during favorable weather.
