The Garmin Zevenheuvelenloop is a 15 km road race through the wooded hills between Nijmegen and Groesbeek. It claims the most beautiful course in the Netherlands and, with genuine climbs in a flat country, it is certainly one of the most characterful. Elite fields regularly produce world class times here.
The 41st edition is sold out, as is the Saturday evening Zevenheuvelennacht, though resale bibs sometimes appear via Atleta.
