Groote Heide Trail

The ASML Runners Club sponsors the participation in Groote Heide Trail on June 7, 2025. if you're a member of the ASML Runners Club and paid the subscription fee for 2025. Please make sure you're registered and logged in, then you can sign up on this page.

TRAILRUNNING is just like running, but off the paved roads. On trails, sandy, muddy, rocky, whatever. But always in nature, in a very versatile setting. Trailruns are typically smaller events than road races, with a different pacing mindset. More relaxed, more to enjoy the environment. Have a look at the 2024 Groote Heide Trail photoalbum to get an impression.

The ASML Runners Club offers registration for the Groote Heide Trail, on Saturday June 8, in Aalst (just south of Eindhoven). This area is quite flat. Often trailruns are in more hilly terrain, however this is a nice opportunity to get acquainted to trailrunning in a low-threshold way. Or to enjoy a trail nearby together with many colleagues. There are 4 distances: 30 km, 21 km, 12 km, and 7.5 km. If you are a member of the ASML Runners Club, we will pay for your registration when you participate. We offer the option to choose whichever distance suits you best.

Also have a look at the other trail event this year: the Strabrechtse Heide Trail.

We will start at 10:30 with the ASML runners as one group. The start window is wider, between 10:00 and 11:00, and other groups start as well between 9:00 and 12:00, but we figured that starting together adds to the social intent of the ASML Runners Club. And afterwards, there is a social gathering with our runners to share experiences and enjoy some drinks on the terrace of cafe The Hut van Mie Pils where start and finish are. Last year was the first time we participated with the ASML Runners Club and the responses were very positive, not in the last place because of the social gathering after the finish.

Please note that there are no cups available at the on-route supplies, so bring your own "race cup".

Supplies:

We plan to arrange a beautiful medal for all finishers.
