For years, the NN Zevenheuvelenloop has attracted thousands of runners from the Netherlands and abroad to Nijmegen. The course is often considered the most beautiful in the country. Moreover, the current world records for 15 km for both men and women were set in Nijmegen.
Sustainability First
The Zevenheuvelenloop Foundation organizes its events—the Alfa Laval Stevensloop, Zevenheuvelentrail, and the NN Zevenheuvelenloop—as sustainably as possible. As the organizer of large-scale events, we feel responsible for the impact such events have on our environment. That’s why, with every edition, we evaluate with our stakeholders where improvements can be made. Every aspect of the event, from waste management to timing vehicles, is scrutinized and analyzed.

Electric motorcycles have the distinct advantage of being emission-free, exceptionally quiet, and highly sustainable. Electric Motorbikes Nederland, a Zero Motorcycles dealer, has organized an impressive lineup of various models for the volunteer motorcyclists.
The NN Zevenheuvelenloop: A 15 km Autumn Classic
The NN Zevenheuvelenloop is the 15 km autumn classic, known for its stunning, hilly course in and around Nijmegen. The race has a history of world-class and national-level performances, making it a staple on the (inter)national media calendar. However, the NN Zevenheuvelenloop isn’t just for global elites like Haile Gebrselassie. Competitive runners and recreational athletes from across the Netherlands also flock to Nijmegen each year. With over 33,000 participants registering annually, it is one of the largest sporting events in the Netherlands.
