Warandeloop Tilburg zaterdag 2026

The Warandeloop Tilburg on Saturday marks the start of a two-day running event held in November within the Oude Warande forest in Tilburg. While the overall Warandeloop tradition began in 1956, Saturday's program caters to a broad public audience, featuring youth races, a half marathon, fun runs, a business run, and Nordic walking, complementing the more competitive cross-country races scheduled for Sunday. The event takes place on a forest course, distinct from urban road circuits, and can attract over 5,000 participants and 12,500 spectators. AV Attila provides numerous volunteers, with Stichting Warandeloop managing the event. Originally a local cross-country race, it evolved into an international competition after 1971 and later expanded to two days. The Sunday elite races now draw strong cross-country fields competing over 10,000 meters for men and 8,100 meters for women.
