Brekeld Runners Trail 2026

The Brekeld Runners Trail is a trail race held annually around Rijssen in the eastern Netherlands, taking place on the first Saturday of October. AV Rijssen has organized the event since 2018, offering three race distances from 12 to 30 kilometers. This is an off-road event, utilizing unpaved paths through the wooded area adjacent to the club’s athletics track. The route crosses forests and heathland, featuring a mix of single-track sections, short ascents, and wider paths. Participants can select a shorter trail distance or opt for the longer run up to 30 kilometers, accommodating both novice trail runners and those seeking a more challenging course. The event is affiliated with the Atletiekunie. A past edition was canceled due to organizational issues, and the organizing committee has stated a need for more volunteers to ensure the race continues.
