Bemels Beste Boeren Bergloop

About the race

The Bemels Beste Boeren Bergloop is an unpaved race through the Limburg hill country around Bemelen, starting on the Bemelerweg. Two distances are on offer: 7.5 kilometres, on which the climbing stays modest, and 15 kilometres, which includes a number of solid ascents. The name is meant literally: the course runs across farmland and even passes straight through a cow shed along the way, which has earned the race a reputation reaching well beyond the region. The 15 kilometres sets off half an hour before the short distance. Changing facilities, showers, parking and a first aid post are available at the start. Interest runs high: entries tend to fill up well before race day.
