## About

Lightmile is a free run club in Eindhoven, open to all paces and backgrounds, expats and locals alike. Most people come the first time knowing nobody. By the coffee afterwards, that has changed. Every week, in every weather, Eindhoven becomes ours for an hour. No fees, no egos, no one left behind. This is where running stops being something you do alone.

### The name

- **Light**: The lift a shared run gives body and mind. A nod to Eindhoven, the city of light.
- **Mile**: The journey we take together, step by step.

## Weekly runs

Three free runs a week, all year, in every weather. The full schedule and routes live on Strava.

- Wednesday 19:30, from The Social Hub, Eindhoven. 5 km or 8 km. All paces welcome.
- Saturday 10:00, from Runnersworld Eindhoven. 5 km. All paces welcome.
- Sunday 09:00, from Ketelhuisplein, Eindhoven. Builds week by week. All paces welcome.

Nobody rushes off at the end. Most of us stick around together: coffee after the morning runs, a drink after the Wednesday evening one. The miles are the reason we show up; what comes after is why we stay.

## What is next

New runs, twists and meet-ups land on Instagram first.

## Beyond the run

On two wheels, through triathlon and wherever the road takes us. A little colour. A water-pistol detour. A fresh pair of shoes. Keep an eye on the agenda for the next one.

## Who runs it

Kos started Lightmile in June 2024. The name came first. Everything else came from the people who turned up. Ana joined as a runner in 2025 and stayed to help run it. They run it together now, with one aim: make it the best run in Eindhoven for whoever shows up.

## Frequently asked

**Is Lightmile free?**

Yes, always. There is no membership and no fee. Just bring yourself and your shoes.

**Do I need to be fast to join?**

Not at all. Every pace has company and no one is left behind. Saturday is a relaxed 5 km, and there is always someone to run with, wherever you are in the pack.

**When and where do you run?**

Three times a week: Wednesday at 19:30 from The Social Hub, Saturday at 10:00 from Runnersworld Eindhoven, and Sunday at 09:00 from Ketelhuisplein. Routes and any changes are posted on Strava and Instagram.

No. Just show up to a run. If you would like reminders and route details, join our WhatsApp group or follow along on Strava and Instagram.
