Everything is possible
Although ultra-distance races are not for the faint-hearted, we aim to create an event that's accessible to everyone from experienced athletes to first-time ultra-cyclists. Utrecht Ultra is the perfect race for those who want to dip their toes into the ultra-experience or as a practice race for more experienced riders.
All riders welcome
Inequality is still a major problem in modern-day bike racing. We aim to organise an event championing inclusivity and diversity, where everyone is free to be themselves. We are committed to listening and learning and want to address the barriers preventing some people from participating in these kinds of events.
Experience above profit
Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the thrill of an ultra-distance race. That's why we do our best to keep the registration fee as low as possible while still providing an unforgettable experience for our riders.
The race will once again challenge riders to complete 1000km within 100 hours. The event kicks off with a mass start, and participants will have one evening and nearly four full days to reach the finish line in time for the finishers party. The exact date and start time will be announced closer to the event.
As a self-supported race, riders must rely on their own abilities, using only commercial services to meet their needs. As usual with these types of races, no prizes will be awarded to the winners.
Utrecht Ultra offers a mix of free and fixed routes, with approximately 99% of the course on tarmac. Riders will begin on a fixed route from the starting point in Utrecht, navigating towards their first checkpoint.
Participants will have to pass through three different checkpoints (CPs) located in neighbouring countries. The CPs will be strategically placed, requiring riders to carefully plan their own routes between them. Each CP will feature a short mandatory parcours and a staffed checkpoint. After completing the final parcours, riders will return to the Netherlands to follow a final fixed route back to Utrecht.
More details about the exact route, checkpoints, and start date will be shared when registration opens.
