Join us for the 36th edition of the Beeckestijn Cross, organized by AV Suomi as part of the RunX Haarlem Cross Circuit 2026/2027. This prestigious cross-country race offers runners a challenging course through picturesque landscapes near Haarlem.
Participants in the circuit can compete for overall standings across multiple events within their respective age categories. To qualify, you must complete at least three races during the season. For youth divisions (U12, U16, and U20) as well as seniors, your category is determined based on your age as of January 1, 2027. Masters runners have the flexibility to choose either their current age group or a lower one for this event.
A notable change from previous years is that women's participation in the 10km distance at Beeckestijn Cross now counts towards the circuit standings instead of the previously used 6.4km route.
Registration opens and closes on January 20, 2027, giving you ample time to secure your spot for this exciting race day set against a backdrop of stunning scenery in Haarlem. Don't miss out on experiencing one of the Netherlands' most beloved winter running traditions!
