Route

Variety rules during the New Balance Zolder Breakfast Run.
You start at the iconic race circuit of Zolder, but that's just the beginning. Soon you dive into nature, climb the Sacramentsberg, cross the pitlane, walk along and through the grandstands, and cross the circuit via bridges.

Asphalt, dirt, elevation changes and surprising passages: this course has it all. One thing is certain: you won't get bored for a second! Whether you go for the 5, 10 or 15 kilometers, a real podium ceremony awaits the fastest runners at the end.

Thanks to the smooth asphalt lanes on the race track, you have plenty of room to set the pace. Speed where you can, get the best out of yourself and race along to victory.
