Leeuwerik Mispelhoef Zomerloop 2026

The Mispelhoef Zomerloop is a local summer running and walking event held at de Mispelhoef in Eindhoven, close to the Acht village. It is a recreational evening race offering two options for runners: a 6 km unpaved trail run and an 8 km route on a hard surface. Walkers can also participate in an 8 km paved route. With a participant limit of 900, it functions as a community gathering rather than a large urban race. Both distances commence and conclude at de Mispelhoef on Oirschotsedijk. Eetcafe de Mispelhoef and Eindhoven Atletiek collaborate on its organization. The 8 km runners begin first, with the 6 km runners starting thirty minutes later. The event, also known as the Leeuwerik Mispelhoef Zomerloop, accommodates those seeking a timed performance and those preferring a relaxed summer activity through its combination of road running, trail running, fun run, and walking.
