The Batavierenrace is the largest relay race in the world, with participants running from Nijmegen to Enschede every year. We are working really hard to work out a possible different option for an alternative event for the Batavierenrace this year. Reserve May 9th and 10th in your calender and follow our Insta to follow all the updates!

Alternative 53rd Batavierenrace

The 53rd edition of the Batavierenrace, the 'alternative Batavierenrace', will take place in the form of a 20-hour run. What does this 20-hour run entail? On Friday, May 9th, 2025, the starting signal for the 20-hour run will sound at 22:00. From that moment on, it is your team's task to run as many laps as possible within those 20 hours, on the University campus in Enschede. A lap around the campus will approximately be 5 kilometers. You will compete from Friday, May 9th at 22:00 until Saturday, May 10th at 18:00 to run as many laps as possible.

This year, your teams may consist of a maximum of 30 people. There is no minimum number of participants required for this alternative event. 60 teams can sign up for the event. Each team pays for 30 team members, which is 25 euros per team member. This includes a sleeping spot at the camping site. Also, you do not need to arrange a van this year. Sleep vouchers for the sports centre can be ordered separately, the price will be announced later.

Registrations will open on February 3rd at 15:00. From then on, you can register as a team via our website.
