Heiderun is a late-summer running event in Ede, starting and finishing at Akoesticum on the old barracks grounds. The program offers distances for a wide range of runners: a 700-meter kids’ run, a 1,400-meter kids’ run, a 6 km, a 12 km, and a half marathon. Athletics Club Climax organizes the event, and spectators are welcome to attend for free.
The route heads out over the Ede heathland, utilizing the town’s edge-of-nature setting instead of a city-street loop. Children have their own free races before the longer distances commence, allowing families, beginners, local club runners, and half-marathon participants to share the same morning. Registration and pricing information are available at heiderun.nl.
