No need to carry your own water or supplies. No stopping for beer or jumping over fire. Just for the pure love and joy of running.
The ENDURrun Sport 80 KM is a comprehensive running challenge, testing the disciplines of road racing, cross country and trail running, and track racing. There are flat and hilly courses, multi-loop, one loop, and out and back courses. There are mass starts, a time trial and heats. There is a double day. There are evening and morning Stages. A little bit of everything to determine who the best runner is over these varying disciplines and challenges, or to give you the most interesting challenge of your lifetime.
The ENDURrun is brought to you by an experienced race committee with a long history of innovation, attention to detail and quality event organization.
