{b}2009 Calendar Ultramarathons The Netherlands
(Version 14 November 2008)
Editor: Martien Baars, Texel{eb}
Below the current list of 25 ultra races and runs in The Netherlands for 2009. There are 14 runs on loops varying between 0.4 km (track) and 10 km, plus 10 landscape runs on loops or sections of 50 km up to 120 km. In addition, there is a large stage run that will comprise 500 km in 7 days.
Each run is denoted with its geographical name of the start (& finish) site printed in bold. The (J-C) marking means that the loop is officially measured by a federation official with a bike equipped with a calibrated Jones/Oerth-Counter.
New are a 60 km in the woods of Drenthe in January and a 60 km in the ‘Land van Heusden en Altena’ between the rivers Maas and Waal on May 2.
The following ultraruns are or will be {b}official KNAU races{eb}, in chronological order:
Stein 6 hrs, Texel 120 & 60 km, Steenbergen 24 & 6 hrs, Cruquius 6 hrs, Around Voorne 50 km, The Hague 12 & 6 hrs, Assen 50 km, Winschoten 100 & 50 km, Amersfoort 6 hrs, Deventer 100 & 50 km and Epe 6 hrs. The latter two are track races.
At least four of these KNAU-races will also apply for an {b}IAU Bronze Label{eb}: Stein 6 hrs, Texel 120 & 60 km, Steenbergen 24 & 6 hrs and RUN Winschoten 100 & 50 km. It is yet not known whether some of the other KNAU-races will also apply for an IAU Label.
An impression of the numbers of participants (in 2007) can be found in the article https://www.ultraned.org/n_item/f4091.php
Please note that the 60 km run of ‘De Zestig van Texel’ 13 April was already fully booked (350 runners) by early November 2008. However, elite runners may still apply for late entries (baars provider nioz.nl). The Castricum run on 18 April – also with beach, dunes and wood – is a very nice alternative for people that were too late for Texel. Note that a limited number of entries are still available for the 120 km around Texel (for runners with 100 km < 9:30 or comparable qualifications). Two races that were on the 2008 calendar are biannual so will not reappear in 2009 but in 2010: the {b}Jan Knippenberg Memorial{eb} (twinned with De Zestig van Texel) will be on Good Friday / Easter Saturday 2 / 3 April 2010, and the {b}Six Hours Heerde{eb} (twinned with the Six Hours Epe) will be organised at the end of this year Tuesday 30 Dec and then reappear at the end of 2010. Check for all details the run info on the websites that are listed, although these may not have been fully updated yet for the 2009 editions.
