Sint Nicolaasloop Zwolle 2026

Sint Nicolaasloop Zwolle is a road race in Zwolle, Overijssel, held annually on a Sunday before Sinterklaas. It begins at Sportpark de Pelikaan on Brinkhoekweg, offering participants a 6 km, 8 km, or 10 English mile (approx. 16.1 km) route. A kids' run is also available, ensuring the event caters to more than just adult club runners. The routes traverse the rural northern part of Zwolle, passing through Berkum and AA-landen, providing a local course atmosphere instead of a large-city feel. Loopgroep SNL organizes the race, which is affiliated with the Atletiekunie. Registration must be completed in advance, as late entries are not accepted, and the event is limited to 1,000 participants. The start area provides essential race-day amenities, such as changing facilities, parking, and a first-aid station.
