It is a tradition that on Ultraned all 120 km participants are presented with their achievements. At one point there were 45 runners on the list of participants. That is now 28, with a few more runners possibly not starting on Sunday 27 March at 4.35 am.
Not all runners have met the requirement of a performance in the 100 km, 12 and 24 hours, Spartathlon or Elfsteden Ultraloop. They received a wildcard because it was estimated that they should be able to finish the 120 km within the strict time limit of 13:30. When the first 120 of Texel was organized in 1993, a distance of more than 100 km was still something that few achieved. There are now many races of 100 miles or more. The distance of 120 km is therefore no longer a problem for many runners. But the time limit of 13:30 does. That is why there are qualification requirements to participate in the 120 of Texel.
Runners from 4 countries will start with 2 former winners in the men’s race and 2 in the women’s race. In addition, John Bouwens participates, who managed to finish in the last 6 editions of the 120 km race.
The list of participants of the 60 km solo run and relay and 120 km solo run can be found on the website, with the latest registrations not yet processed: https://www.dezestigvantexel.nl/wp-content/downloads/Deelnemerslijst%2027-3-22.pdf
