{i}Samenvatting. Onderstaand de Engelstalige lijst van 23 Nederlandse ultralopen in 2011, waarbij ten behoeve van de buitenlandse UltraNed-bezoekers wat karakteristieken bij elk evenement genoemd, zodat zij een indruk krijgen van het soort ultraloop. Vier groepslopen zijn niet in de lijst opgenomen{ei}
Below you will find the current list of 23 ultra races and runs in The Netherlands for 2011. 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.
The total of 23 Dutch ultra runs in 2011 comprises two international championships: the Final of the IAU 50K Trophy in Assen at 20 August and the IAU 100K WC / EC in Winschoten at 10 September.
Please note also the International 24 hrs race at Steenbergen (14/15 May) as this race is candidate for organizing the IAU WC / EC 24 hrs championship in 2012 or 2013.
There will be no The Hague 12 & 6 hours in 2011 since the club will have to organize the National Masters Championships (on the track) the very same weekend (3rd Saturday of June).
Two Dutch ultraruns with a long history have become extinct: the Fat Ass Fifty in Schinnen (that started in Tilburg in 1992) and the Ultrarun Amersfoort (a six hours race since 1993).
Very nice additions to the Dutch ultracalendar are the extension of the tough trail {i}‘Limburgs Zwaarste’{ei}, formerly 70 km, into a 100 km trail run (with also 80 and 60 km subruns) on Saturday 2 April, and the second edition of the Veluwezoom Trail, 50 km through nature reserves, on Saturday 26 June.
Please note that Around Texel ({i}‘De Zestig van Texel’{ei}) on Easter Monday 25 April is already fully booked (450 runners for the 60K and 40 runners for the 120K). However, elite runners may still apply for late entries (baars
The following ultraruns are or will be {b}official KNAU races{eb}, in chronological order:
Stein 6 hrs, Around Texel 120 & 60 km, Hank 60 km, Steenbergen 24 & 6 hrs, Vijfhuizen 6 hrs, Assen 50 km, Winschoten 100 & 50 km, Around Voorne 50 km, Deventer 100 & 50 km and Epe 6 hrs. The latter two are track races. It is not yet known whether all of these KNAU-races will also apply for an IAU Label.
Two races that were on the 2010 calendar are biannual so will not reappear in 2011 but in 2012: the {b}Jan Knippenberg Memorial{eb} (twinned with De Zestig van Texel) over 100 & 50 miles along the Dutch beach, will be on Good Friday / Easter Saturday 6 / 7 April 2012, and the {b}Six Hours Heerde{eb} (twinned with the Six Hours Epe) will be organised at the end of this year Wednesday 29 Dec. and then reappear at the end of 2012.
Check for all details the run info on the websites that are listed, although these may not have been fully updated yet for the 2011 editions.
