Omloop van de Biesbosch 2026

Omloop van de Biesbosch 2026 is a two-day community sport weekend that combines a Friday evening running meeting with a full day of cycling on Saturday, held in and around the Biesbosch near Werkendam. The event name Omloop van de Biesbosch is retained by the organiser; the programme for 2026 explicitly lists a running programme on Friday 8 May (including youth races and 5 km/10 km options) and a cycling programme on Saturday 9 May, which for the first time hosts the Clubcompetitie team competition. The organisers publish a technical guide and GPX/course files and provide clear start/finish guidance (near Lijnoorden/Biesboschmuseum) so participants can prepare routes and logistics in advance.

The weekend is positioned as accessible to competitive and recreational participants alike, with youth distances, timed senior runs and national-level club racing on the bike. Practical information on the official pages includes pre-entry deadlines, a participant cap for the run, parking instructions and first-aid provision, while the cycling day lists team formats, classifications and race distances in the technical guide. Together these elements make Omloop van de Biesbosch a compact, spectator-friendly local sport weekend set in the scenic Biesbosch landscape.
