Rondje Om de Koepel

Rondje Om de Koepel is an annual running event in Lunteren, Netherlands, centered on the historic Lunterse Koepel, a local landmark in the countryside near the village. The event typically offers 5 km and 10 km races, alongside a 1 km children's run, catering to children, beginners, club runners, and adults seeking a short forest race over a long road event. The course begins at Hessenweg in Lunteren and passes near the geographic center of the Netherlands, crossing the wooded area surrounding the Koepel. Participants encounter a blend of paved and unpaved paths, with slightly undulating terrain instead of a flat urban course. The field consists primarily of local and regional participants, with over 300 starters reported in favorable autumn weather, plus dozens of children in their race. Logistics are straightforward: changing facilities, bag storage, on-route water, first aid, an AED, and parking are provided for participants. Late registration is typically not an option.
