On 19 December 2025, runners will set off after dark through forests, fields, and village paths around the Maredsous Abbey, taking in hilly terrain, festive lighting, and atmospheric trails. The event features four distance options (9, 15, 22, and 30 km), with aid stations along the longer routes, and participants must carry a headlamp and personal cup (for drink refills). At the finish, there is a festive spread including soup, local baked goods, and a complimentary “galopin” of Maredsous beer. The race is limited to 1,500 runners total, offers free parking, and includes festive touches like a Christmas market on site and evening ambiance through the abbey grounds.
