11e Molenloop (Molensmooiste) Alblasserdam-Kinderdijk

Molensmooiste is a road race held in Kinderdijk and Alblasserdam, South Holland, offering 8 km and 16 km distances. The shorter race begins in the morning, and the event limits participation to 1,500 runners. On-site registration is unavailable; advance sign-up is required. The route commences and concludes at the Kinderdijk mill area, featuring a revised setup near the visitor center. Participants will traverse the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Kinderdijk and the open polders of the Alblasserwaard. Consequently, the race closely connects with the region's mills, dikes, and characteristic flat Dutch countryside. Stichting Werelderfgoed Kinderdijk collaborates with AAA Atletiekvereniging Alblasserdam for this event, which is affiliated with the Atletiekunie.
