Mito Middelpunt Route

Join the Mito Midpoint Route during World Mitochondrial Disease Week, an annual global initiative aimed at raising awareness for mitochondrial diseases. This year's event takes place in the heart of the Netherlands, offering participants the chance to explore this picturesque region on foot or by bike.
For those who prefer cycling, there’s a scenic 80-kilometer route through Utrecht and Gelderland provinces. The tour winds its way past lush forests, expansive meadows, and charming countryside paths that many visitors might never have discovered otherwise. Cyclists are treated to breathtaking views at every turn and can enjoy refreshments along the way.
Alternatively, for those who prefer a more leisurely pace, there’s a 12-kilometer walking route designed by local residents who know their area intimately. This walk showcases some of the most beautiful spots in the region, offering ample opportunities to take in the stunning natural beauty and peaceful surroundings. Participants will also receive a goody bag filled with snacks and treats for sustenance during their journey.
Both events are an excellent way to contribute to raising awareness while enjoying one of Europe’s most scenic landscapes. The Mito Midpoint Route promises a memorable day out, combining physical activity with the chance to make a difference in the lives of those affected by mitochondrial diseases.
