Molenhoeks Makkie running the hills

The Molenhoeks Makkie, a trail run through the hills, begins and ends in the village of Molenhoek, located in the Rijk van Nijmegen region of the Netherlands. This Sunday-morning event offers three distance options: 5 km, 10 km, or 15 km, all crossing a hilly course. The number of participants is limited to 1,400, and pre-registration is required as there is no on-site entry. The course navigates the region's natural hills and landscape, deviating from a typical town-road setting. Live music is present along the route, contributing to a local race-day atmosphere rather than a subdued trail experience. Essential runner amenities are provided, including public transport access, changing areas, massage services, first aid, an AED, and a supervised cloakroom.
