Abdijcross
The Abdijcross is a cross-country run that has been held annually at the Rolduc Abbey in Kerkrade since 1965 and has been part of the EAA Cross Country Permit Meetings since 2017 . In 1994 and 2015, the Dutch cross-country championships were integrated into the Abdijcross.
The Abdijcross is part of the Rur-Eifel-Volkslauf Cup , a running cup classification of fun runs in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium .
route
The route with start and finish area on a sports field leads over paved and unpaved paths through a valley northeast of the monastery, in which a park with several ponds has been created. A meadow east of the sports field is also crossed several times. The competition center is located on the abbey grounds. The Dutch-German border runs just a few meters east of the course; Herzogenrath , directly behind, forms the symbolic twin town of Eurode with Kerkrade .
