About this race
The N70 Trail begins in Ubbergen, at Hengstdal 3, leading runners into the hills near Nijmegen and Groesbeek, a region of the Netherlands known as the Dutch Alps. This trail run and cross event offers three distances: 7 km, 14 km, and 21 km. Participants can select a short off-road race or a half-marathon-length trail run. The event takes place in late August, with staggered starts beginning with the longest distance and ending with the shortest.
The event maintains a limited-participant atmosphere, with a cap of 750 entries and no late registration. Men, women, and youth are eligible for all distances, making it more accessible than races exclusively for specialists. The N70 Trail is among the longest-standing trail events in the Netherlands, with the organizer suggesting it may have been the nation's first. Running Promotion Gelderland manages the race, providing parking, changing facilities, first aid, and AED support at the venue.
