Free public transport for all participants for the next three years: Arriva remains mobility partner of Stichting Venloop<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Arriva and Stichting Venloop will continue to work together for the next three years! We are delighted and proud to look forward to this unique continuation. As a trusted partner, Arriva is once again making it possible for participants in the Neptunus Wandeltocht and the Arrow Venloop to benefit from a special public transport arrangement. This makes the Venloop the only running event in the Netherlands that offers participants free public transport. <\/p>\n\n

A unique benefit for participants<\/strong>Thanks to this collaboration, participants can use Arriva buses and trains free of charge on the day of the event. This means that the Venloop experience starts even before the race begins: relaxed, without the stress of parking or traffic jams. And all in an accessible and sustainable way. By actively encouraging participants to travel by public transport, we are also helping to relieve traffic congestion in the city centre of Venlo. Whether it’s walking or running, young or old, this arrangement allows everyone to participate without any worries. This ensures that the Venloop remains easily accessible: from the station to the finish line. <\/p>\n\n

Wim Lensen, director of Stichting Venloop, on the continuation: \u2018Arriva has been a reliable partner during our events for many years. With this extension, participants can be assured of a smooth journey even before the start. It shows how sport, exercise and mobility reinforce each other in a unique way. We are proud that we are making this possible together.\u2019<\/p>\n\n

Arriva is also eagerly looking forward to the upcoming editions. Chellie Soons, regional director of Arriva Limburg: “We believe it is important to do something extra for the region in which we provide public transport. We do this not only by providing good public transport, but also by investing in social initiatives in the region. The Venloop is a wonderful example of this: an event that brings together exercise, socialising and regional pride. We are therefore extremely proud that, by offering free public transport to participants, we will once again be associated with the Venloop as a mobility partner in the coming years.” <\/p>\n\n

More than just transport: involved in Venloop week<\/strong>Arriva is more than just a transport company. During Venloop week, they are visibly present at various activities, such as the VenloopKids afternoon and the Senior Matinee. This allows young and old alike to become acquainted with public transport in an accessible way and to participate fully in everything Venloop week has to offer. <\/p>\n\n

Seniors who participate in the Senior Matinee can also use Arriva public transport free of charge. This means that everyone can enjoy all the activities during the Arrow Venloop without any worries. <\/p>\n\n

The Venloop always strives for innovation and offering special experiences for its participants. With the unique opportunity of free public transport and the fun activities organised by Arriva, the week of the Arrow Venloop in 2026 will undoubtedly be a great success. A week full of fun<\/strong>With the continuation of this collaboration, Venloop week will become even more accessible, sustainable and carefree. Participants of all ages can easily travel to the start and enjoy the races and activities to the fullest. The Arrow Venloop 2026 promises to be another special edition. <\/p>\n\n
