Heiderun Ede

About the race

The Heiderun is the running event of the Heideweek in Ede, starting and finishing on the barracks grounds in front of the Akoesticum. The programme runs from short to long: first two kids runs over 700 and 1,400 metres, then the half marathon, followed by the 12 kilometres and finally the 6 kilometres. Because the longest distance sets off first, participants come in at roughly the same time. The routes leave the built-up area quickly and lead through the countryside around Ede, with the heathland as a recognisable backdrop. The race forms part of the wider Heideweek programme, so there is plenty going on in town during those days anyway.
