2+ Run Clubs in Den Bosch

Den Bosch packs a surprising amount of running variety into a compact, walkable city. The standout is the Bossche Broek, a 200-hectare nature reserve that begins right at the edge of the historic centre — flat asphalt paths through open polder, with the city skyline and St. John's Cathedral in view as you run. From there you can extend toward Vught, the Moerputtenbrug and the Gement for longer routes through woodland and water, or stick to a shorter loop around the Oosterplas. The local running calendar centres on the Vestingloop in late May, which sends runners of every level along the old fortifications and through the atmospheric old town, with distances from 5km up to 15km. Run clubs in Den Bosch make the most of having genuine nature on the doorstep, and they welcome newcomers and seasoned runners alike — just show up and join in.
