Despite the efforts of the organisers to reduce the nuisance to a minimum, it is possible that you may experience some difficulties during the Venloop. In order to inform you in advance of what you may expect, this page gives more information about various matters.
The routes for the races on Sunday can be found on this page.
Walkers taking part in Saturday's events will use public roads and pathways, so roads will be limited closed off. Please note it will not be possible to cross from Deken van Oppensingel to Spoorstraat and vice versa.
The area allocated for the start and finish on both Saturday (walkers) and Sunday (runners) is very close to Centraal Station (trains) and the bus station. We advise participants and spectators to travel to Venlo using public transport.
In consultation with the organisers and the municipality of Venlo, public transport operator Arriva has decided to re-route or temporarily cancel a number of services during the Weir Venloop 2018. The up-to-date list of bus services and times on Sunday 25 March 2018 will be published on this page at a later date.
Access to the indoor car parks Maaswaard and Centrum Maasboulevard will be limited on Sunday 25 March. The parking facilities at Lage Loswal and Maaskade are open as usual and can be accessed via Urbanusweg. Many shops in the centre of Venlo are open for business and can be reached as usual. You may have to use a short diversion.
Two large parking facilities will be provided for participants in the Weir Venloop on 25 March 2018:
A shuttle bus service will operate to and from the start and finish areas between 09.30 - 18.00 hrs.
To ensure the routes are completely traffic-free, a parking ban will apply to certain areas along the route. Parking is among other things forbidden in the following areas:
The parking ban will be lifted as soon as possible after the final runners have passed.
