Maasduinenloop

The Maasduinenloop starts and finishes at Landgoed Bleijenbeek in Afferden, with routes entering De Maasduinen National Park. This race, organized annually by Kiwanis Maasduinen in early November, offers distances for children and adults: 500 metres for children up to 7, 1,000 metres for ages 8 to 11, and 5 km and 10 km races. The 10 km course is a single loop. The estate provides practical amenities for runners and spectators, including free parking, changing rooms, showers, and a restaurant. The event supports local children's projects in Bergen, Gennep, and Mook en Middelaar. Recent editions have seen growth, with 323 runners participating in the tenth edition.
