AMGEN Singelloop Breda

This first Sunday in October is traditionally the day of the AMGEN Singelloop Breda.

The Breda Singelloop runs through the historic centre of Breda and along the beautiful canals with the finish at the Grote Markt. A top running event where the lively and Burgundian atmosphere of Breda takes centre stage. The thousands of spectators, music groups, DJs and dance groups ensure this.
The Singelloop is rightfully known as the most convivial run in the Netherlands. And it's not just festive at the start and finish line! There are more than thirty performances throughout the city centre.  

Distances
The AMGEN Singelloop Breda includes various events: the 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, family run, and the 5 km Walking & Wheeling, specially designed for people who cannot or do not want to run, but still want to experience the unique atmosphere of the Breda Singelloop!
All these distances are also available for participants in the Business Run. Around 500 teams participate in this event annually.

Registration for the Breda Singelloop can be done from 1 May. Note: This year, for the first time, there is a maximum number of participants.
