Polar Bear Trail
Polar Bear Trail is one of the organiser's oldest events and is held in a protected nature reserve. The 11th edition takes place on 10 January 2027 with start and finish at Velorium Outdoor Sports and Bikepark.
The route runs through the Savelsbos, a protected hillside forest southeast of Maastricht, featuring steep climbs, challenging singletracks and a wintry trail atmosphere. The event offers three distances with the following elevation gains:
- 30 km - 591 m D+
- 22 km - 422 m D+
- 14 km - 275 m D+
About 88 percent of the courses run offroad and mostly in the forest. The field size is listed at around 1200 participants. Group registration is possible from a minimum of 10 people. Registrations are handled through the Passion for Sports platform.
On site information includes parking, bib numbers and program details, shower facilities, goodies, a finisher medal, and course information such as cut offs, aid stations and profile. Live tracking and results are provided via the Livio official app. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
