HAPPENING 9 NOV 2025 | The Maastunnelloop returned to Rotterdam with a course that links some of the city’s most recognisable views to a rare passage through the historic Maastunnel. The 2025 edition featured a 10 km run, a business run, a walk and powerwalk, plus a 1 km family loop supported by gro-up, with daytime programming around Het Park, the Parkkade and the Erasmus Bridge.
What makes the Maastunnelloop special
Runners and walkers experience the city at street level: the riverfront, the Erasmus Bridge, and the 1942 Maastunnel itself. Local listings place the start area by Het Park and Parkkade, with routes crossing “de Zwaan” and through the tunnel before looping back along the Maas.
