About the Event

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Purmerbos, De NeaCross offers runners an engaging and scenic cross-country experience. This annual race invites participants to explore the beauty and challenges of this lush forest setting on October 25, 2026.
The event features a variety of distances designed for all ages and skill levels, ensuring there is something for everyone. The day kicks off with a youth-oriented 1000-meter JeugdCross at 10:30 AM, providing young athletes an opportunity to test their skills on the trails before more seasoned runners take over.
For adults looking for a longer challenge, two main race options are available starting from 11:00 AM. The first is an 8.4-kilometer course that winds through Purmerbos three times, offering participants a chance to immerse themselves in the forest's natural beauty and varied terrain. Shortly after, at 11:05 AM, runners can tackle a slightly shorter but equally demanding 5.6-kilometer route, which covers two laps around the same scenic trails.
Completing the lineup is an accessible 2.8-kilometer course for those who prefer a more relaxed pace or are looking to introduce themselves to cross-country running in Purmerbos. This single-lap event begins promptly at 11:10 AM, allowing participants to enjoy the race's atmosphere and stunning surroundings without committing to longer distances.
De NeaCross not only celebrates athletic achievement but also fosters a sense of community among runners as they come together to embrace the unique allure of cross-country racing in Purmerbos. Whether you're an experienced runner or new to the sport, this event promises unforgettable moments amidst nature's splendor.
Join us on October 25, 2026, for what is sure to be a memorable day filled with challenging courses and breathtaking scenery in one of the Netherlands' most beautiful forest settings.
