We take a lot of pride in organizing races that are more than just a race. Usually our races turn into epic achievements, and sometimes they turn into bitter defeat…
The objective of our races is to push people further than they thought they could ever go. We offer some of the toughest races you can find in Belgium and will continue to do so.
However, we also really love it when our participants push through their limits and earn that hardfought medal. And that’s why every race we try to improve on the quality of our services.
We offer best of class trails, food, checkpoints, logistics, … together with the best volunteers in the world.
So basically all you have to worry about is… RUNNING or WALKING. The rest is up to us.
