Lighthouse Trail Ameland
The Ameland Lighthouse Trail is a unique trail running event that allows you to experience the island in its purest form. You will run along unpaved paths, through dunes and along the beach, with the characteristic lighthouse as a recognisable landmark in the landscape. This trail is all about nature, experience and sporting challenge, not about fast times.
Trail run through the landscape of Ameland
During the Lighthouse Trail, you will discover the diversity of Ameland. You will run through dune areas, along sandy paths, past forests and stretches of beach. The terrain changes constantly, and the wind and weather also play a role. This makes every kilometre different and ensures a trail that you will never forget.
Distances and level
The Lighthouse Trail offers several distances, allowing both novice trail runners and experienced runners to participate. You choose a distance that suits your experience and fitness level. The event is all about enjoying running in nature and pushing your own boundaries.
Atmosphere and trail experience
The atmosphere during the Lighthouse Trail is relaxed and sporty. Spectators and volunteers cheer you on along the route. At the start and finish, there is space to share experiences and enjoy your achievement. The combination of sport, nature and island feeling makes this event popular with trail runners from all over the country.
