Seven Hills organises its running events sustainably. When it comes to medals, the organisation also chooses consciously. During the events, participants receive eco-friendly medals for running, which are made either from potato starch or wood. The Seven Hills Run was even voted European Race of the Year.

For years, the Seven Hills Run has attracted thousands of runners from The Netherlands and abroad to Nijmegen. The course is considered the most beautiful in the Netherlands. In addition, the current world records over 15 km for men and women were run in Nijmegen. The evening before the Seven Hills Run the Seven Hills Night Run takes place.

The Seven Hills Run has won the European Race of the Year Award from the European Athletics Association (EAA). The Seven Hills Run was chosen as the 2019 winner because the organisation stands out in terms of sustainability, social inclusion and community involvement. The latter is demonstrated, among other things, by the organisation of the NK Running Blind Weekend: the most accessible running event for people with a visual impairment.



Seven Hills organises its events in the most sustainable way possible. For example, the organisation encourages the use of public transport, the catering for the hundreds of volunteers and guests is locally produced with seasonal products and waste is treated as sustainably as possible. Every edition, they look at what new steps can be taken.

With a team of professionals and volunteers, Seven Hills organises three events. Besides the well-known Seven Hills Run and Seven Hills Night, these are the Alfa Laval Stevensloop and the Seven Hills Trail & Hike. The Stevensloop is a real city run with a course right through Nijmegen. During this running weekend in March, you can also take part in the Stevens Stadscross, where you run through a beautifully lit church, through the underground passages of the Bastei and over the many stairs of Nijmegen city centre. In September, the trails and forests around Nijmgen are ready for participants in the Seven Hills Trail & Hike. The Dutch championship trailrunning also takes place at the Seven Hills Trail.

For different products, the organisation considers which option is the most sustainable. So too for the medals for running. Today, medals made of potato starch or wood are awarded during Seven Hills’s events.

The eco medals for running are provided with eco ribbons. Our company manufactures ribbon made from recycled PET. R-PET is an abbreviation for grecycled polyethylene terephthalate. In other words, material made from collected (soft drink) bottles.
