Dwars Door Duizend

Dwars Door Duizend is a three-day trail run in the Netherlands, beginning in Rheden and covering approximately 100 kilometers. The name references a key feature: over 1000 meters of elevation gain, distributed across a course connecting the Veluwe with the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. This yearly event is designed for runners seeking a substantial off-road challenge instead of a single, quick road race. The course features trails, forest paths, hills, and varied surfaces, making the terrain as demanding as the distance. Both recreational runners and competitive athletes participate, as the format allows participants to establish a multi-day pace. Marijn and Hilde organize the event, focusing on clear course marking and safety.
