About the race
The TexelTrail is an organized trailrun across the dune and beach landscape of Texel with routes that are almost entirely unpaved. It is not run as a competition but as a guided trail event through varied terrain shaped by wind and water.
Participants can choose from the following distances:
- 15 km
- 24 km
- 42,2 km
The course includes shell paths, narrow sandy trails, loose sand and mud. The marathon route is composed of a 24 km first loop followed by an 18 km loop that largely overlaps the 24 km route except for the section to De Slufter. Routes are published on afstandmeten.nl with export options for .kml, .gpx and .tcx files.
Support and facilities include multiple aid stations offering water, tea, cola, AA sports drink, bananas, oranges, ontbijtkoek and bastognekoek served in 100% recyclable PET cups. There is free shuttle bus transport between the ferry and De Krim, free sports massage at the finish, heated shower facilities on the De Krim campsite, EHBO and AED on site and a doctor present. Start numbers and changing rooms are issued at De Waddenhoeve on De Krim. Registration opens 29 November 2026 and places are limited to 350; a waitlist will be used when full.
