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.

I have just moved to Eindhoven. Can I join?

Absolutely. Lightmile is a runclub in Eindhoven for expats and locals alike, and many of us arrived here from somewhere else. It is one of the easiest ways to meet people in the city.

Do I need to sign up first?

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.

Why we run

A city feels different when you move through it together.

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.

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.

Moving minds, together.

After the run

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.

Agenda

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

Who runs it

The crew plans it.
Everyone runs it.

Kos started Lightmile in June 2024. The name came first. Everything else came from the people who turned up. Some stayed to help run it and became the crew around him. Together, they have one aim: make it the best run in Eindhoven for whoever shows up.

Founder / 2024

Started the club and still sets the tone. Notices the details, and makes sure nobody is left standing on their own.

Community leader / 2025

Moved up from Maastricht and found the club in her first year here. MSc in Human Movement Sciences and a sports nutritionist, so the training questions have somewhere to go.

Community leader / 2024

Joined a few months after the club started and has brought the energy ever since. Paces groups, rallies the chat, and gets every run moving.
