Natuurloop Zonnebeke - 10th Edition
Get ready for the 10th edition of the Natuurloop Zonnebeke, taking place on December 19-20, 2026. This recreational run features mostly unpaved paths through nature, with various distances available from 10 to 45 kilometers. Participants can choose their start time freely on both Saturday, December 19, 2026, and Sunday, December 20, 2026.
The routes will take you through diverse natural areas including the castle domain, Polygone, Reutelbos, the clay pits, Gasthuisbossen, and Palingbeek. These areas are connected by well-known and lesser-known paths, often crossing private properties. Participants will benefit from quality aid stations along the course.
The first 2500 registered runners will receive a goodie. Additionally, a kids' run of approximately 3 kilometers is scheduled for Saturday, December 19, 2026, at 2 PM. This guided nature run through the castle domain is perfect for children, and all participants will receive a small gift at the finish line.
Note: Information regarding a new trail event on May 29-30, 2026, will be announced soon. Registrations for this trail event will open shortly.
