The 35th edition of the Pierenloop, which was set to take place on Saturday, September 5, in Ravels, has been cancelled by the organisers. There are not enough volunteers available to safely manage the event with 800 participants.

According to the organisers, the decision to cancel the run was not made lightly, but the shortage of assistance has proven to be an insurmountable issue.

The organisers have indicated that their goal is to return with the Pierenloop in 2027, provided conditions allow. This will depend on the availability of volunteers and the organisation of the event.
