Sint Nicolaasloop

The Sint-Nicolaasloop is an annual race through the beautiful Eempolder between Bunschoten and Eemdijk, with distances of 5, 10 and 15 km. The start and finish are at the athletics track at Quo Vadis. The 10 and 15 km courses run counterclockwise, with 15 km runners completing an extra loop on Gasthuisweg. Younger runners up to age 12 can take part in a 1.2 km kids’ run. The first, second and third place finishers in each distance receive a prize, for both women and men.

The 1.2 km kids’ run starts at 10:00 (3 laps of the track). The 5 km fun run starts at 10:50 from the track. Pre-registration is open until 4 December 2026 at 23:59; on-the-day registration is available from 09:00 to 10:00. Participation is at your own risk. Participants are encouraged to read the general information page; prizes are awarded to the top three in each distance and category.
