Van Ekeren Kuiper Lenteloop

About the race

The Van Ekeren Kuiper Lenteloop is the renewed name of AV Passaat's familiar Nationale Lenteloop in Papendrecht. On Saturday 13 June 2026, the athletics track on Andoornlaan is the fixed start and finish point for a programme with 5 kilometres, 10 kilometres and youth runs over 400 and 800 metres. The 5 km starts at 09:00, the 10 km at 10:00 and the youth races follow from 13:00. The strength of this event lies in the combination of club organisation and a properly measured race feel: a recognisable track venue, clear start times and a 10 km that also serves as an official Atletiekunie race. For runners in the Drechtsteden area, it remains a familiar, well-organised classic, now under a new name.
