Oranjeloop Krabbendijke

About the race

The Oranjeloop Krabbendijke is an evening race organised by the local Oranjevereniging, starting and finishing at the De Meiboom village hall on the Kerkpolder. The programme opens with a 1400-metre kids' run, after which the 5 and 10 kilometres head out onto a fully signposted course in and around Krabbendijke. The organisers provide official timing, marshals along the way and a place to leave bags. There is no late entry on race day for the 5 and 10 kilometres, so taking part means signing up in advance; the kids' run deliberately keeps the threshold low. After the finish the village hall stays the focal point, where runners and spectators linger a while. It remains a manageable, easy-going village race in the run-up to King's Day.
