About the race
The Veluwse TrailRun is a trail running event around the Ermelosche Heide near Ermelo with an outdoor Traildorp at the Leuvenumseweg serving as the event hub. Routes are clearly waymarked and registered participants receive a link to download GPX files for use with sportwatches.
Distances available include:
- 10 km Reekalf TrailRun
- 15 km Mouflon TrailRun
- 22 km Damhert TrailRun
- 30 km Edelhert TrailRun
- 42 km Highland Marathon Trail
- 60 km Battle TrailRun (estafette, teams)
Chip timing is used by Ox-Max; the timing chip is mounted on the back of the race number and registers net finish times. Without the chip no official time or ranking is recorded. The Battle TrailRun 60 km is an estafette for one to four runners on a course made of eight laps of 7.5 km; teams exchange a single ankle-band chip in the transition area and there is a provisioning post in the Traildorp.
Registration opens and closes on defined dates and late registration periods apply; day registration is not possible. Entry limits apply per distance to protect the Natura2000 area and registrations may close early. Fees include cloakroom, refreshments at fourage posts, timing, finish video and a finish certificate but exclude a small compulsory nature fee. Minimum ages apply per distance. Optional items at registration include a T-shirt, a finisher medallion and a collapsible drink cup. Routes, results and prize information are published online. A heat protocol allows route adjustments to avoid warm, exposed heathland. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
