The Great Escape 2.0: A New Adventure Awaits
\nthe Origin
\nIn 2016 we organized the first Great Escape. Back then we had a 45km, an 80km and a 160km run. For many (trail)runners, it was their first encounter with ultratrails. The Escapardenne trail had just been established and was a very thankfull solution for both the race course and the race name. Over the years we had many epic editions, and also added the Walk option. And now we think it\u2019s time for something extra\u2026<\/p>\n
Escape the Ordinary
\nEmbark on an extraordinary journey through the heart of the Ardennes. The Great Escape 2.0 offers a renewed experience, combining the magnificent Escapardenne Trails with exciting new routes and distances. Our races remain \u201cunsupported\u201d which in general means that only Legends Trails volunteers and other participants are allowed to offer you support, but make sure to visit our FAQ page for more info. <\/p>\n
