Limburg Wine Trailrun

The Limburg Wine Trail is a trail run through South Limburg's hill country, incorporating wine tasting throughout the day rather than solely at the finish. Participants begin and conclude at Kasteelhoeve Cartils, located next to Kasteel Cartils in the Eyserbeek valley between Gulpen and Eys. Runners can select from 10, 15, or 20 kilometer distances. The courses are not flat; the 10 km route includes 220 meters of elevation gain, the 15 km has 300 meters, and the 20 km features 370 meters. The course crosses a blend of paved and unpaved paths, featuring rolling hills, estate grounds, and vineyards within the Limburg Heuvelland region. Along the route, runners sample local Limburg wines accompanied by small food pairings, making the event a combination of trail race and mobile wine tasting. Now in its third edition, the event's first two editions sold out rapidly. A Limburg Wine Walk is also offered for those preferring to experience the wine and countryside without running. The day concludes back at Cartils with music and a communal closing.
