6-uurs van Amerongen

About the race

The 6-uurs van Amerongen is a small-scale trail and ultra-style running event on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The concept is simple but demanding: solo runners and duos have six hours to complete as many laps as possible through the woods around Amerongen. Each lap is 3.4 km long and includes 81 metres of elevation gain, with the Amerongse Berg as the defining feature. Participants decide how to pace the race, when to rest and how many laps to take on. That makes it appealing to experienced trail and ultra runners, but also to runners looking for a long challenge without being tied to a fixed distance.
