Sleeping Arrangements

During the Batavierenrace it is possible to sleep in Enschede. There are several possibilities.

A. Sleeping in the sports center of the University of Twente
B. Sleeping at the campsite on the campus of the University of Twente or bring your own tent.

Sleeping in the Enschede Sports Center: nice and warm indoors
Don't you like camping? Or do you prefer to sleep nice and warm inside with the sanitary facilities in the same building? In the Sports Centre you can be sure that you'll be warm and dry, and that you'll be woken up on time for your stage! With sleeping vouchers you can sleep in the sports halls of the University of Twente. You do need to bring a sleeping bag and air mattress, but you can leave your tent at home!

Your team leader can buy the sleeping vouchers through the online voucher sales. Keep an eye on our website regarding the online voucher sale for the next edition.

Camping
Sleeping on the camping of the Batavierenrace.
It is also possible to sleep on one of the three campsites on the Campus of the University of Twente. The Carilloncamping (CC), the Hockeycamping (HC) and the Vlindercamping (VC) are open for visitors from Friday May 24th 2024 15:00 until Sunday May 26th 2024 11:00. Camping at the campground is free. But starting this year, you have to purchase a camping voucher. This is to make sure the camping grounds aren't overcrowded. You can buy the voucher during the voucher sale. Please note tha you buy 1 voucher for 25 people, so if you plan to come with more than 25 people, you have to buy 2 camping vouchers.
