About the race
The Leersumse Veld Trail is a trail running event on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug that offers two main distances and routes through the Leersumse Veld area. The event base is at Molecaten Park Landgoed Ginkelduin in Leersum.
Available distances
- 11 km
- 21 km
The course is built from two distinct loops of about 11 km each. Participants can choose which loop to run and in which order. Loop 1 runs mainly around the Leersumse Veld and features single tracks, sand paths and forest paths, with views over the Leersumsche Plassen and about 20D+ elevation. Loop 2 goes through forest towards the Hoge Ginkel, contains narrow single tracks, short steep climbs and technical descents, and about 200D+ elevation.
Both loops are fully marked with arrows and tape. There is a finish feed for each loop and no disposable cups are provided, so participants should bring a reusable racecup if needed. Each event has its own medal that can be ordered as an extra; if available, medals can also be purchased on the day. A Night Trail is scheduled the day before and can be combined with the Leersumse Veld Trail for a trail weekend format.
Practical details such as start windows and participant information are provided to entrants before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
