29e LONU Van Goghloop Nuenen

The LONU Van Goghloop is an annual road race in Nuenen, a village in North Brabant with strong ties to Vincent van Gogh. It begins and ends in Nuenen, offering runners paved 5 km, 10 km, and 15 km courses, plus a children's run. This is a standard road race, not a trail event. The 5 km is open to participants aged 12 and older, while the 10 km and 15 km require runners to be 16 or older. The course winds through Nuenen's historic streets and past locations associated with Van Gogh, who resided and created art in the village. This provides a local connection for participants, as they run along paths that are part of the village's narrative linked to the painter. Both recreational runners and competitive athletes participate. The event provides standard race-day amenities like changing rooms, luggage storage, and restrooms. Registering early may offer a personalized race number by mail and a reduced fee.
