Polderrun

The Polderrun is a sporting running event in the heart of Bleskensgraaf, bringing together participants from the region and beyond. The race offers several distances, including 3.5, 7, and 10 English miles, on a fast, fully paved course through the open polder. The Polderrun is known for its atmospheric start and finish in the middle of the village, and for the combination of nostalgia and renewal in the course. The event also supports a good cause, Stichting Moz Kids, making a meaningful contribution to vulnerable children in Mozambique.

Race numbers can be collected from 08:30 at the meeting area, De Spil. The meeting area also has a cloakroom, toilets, and limited shower facilities. Timing is provided by an Ipico chip in the race number, which measures net running time. There is a drink station at kilometer 8.1 of the 10 English Miles. Parking is available at three locations in Bleskensgraaf, with Melkwegplein and Weideweg preferred. Race-day registration is not possible. Registration for 2027 has not yet been announced, but the event is popular and sells out quickly. Facilities include parking, first aid, and Ipico timing. There is also an option to donate to a good cause.
