Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Airborne Freedom Run requires athletes to sustain forward progress across a 60-kilometer trail route through the Veluwe region.
Ultra Distance Endurance
Covering 60 kilometers on foot demands an exceptional aerobic base, efficient pacing, and structural resilience to withstand hours of continuous impact.
Trail Surface Adaptability
Navigating the nature and historic region of the Veluwe requires stability and coordination to handle varied off-road trail conditions over an extended duration.
Given the duration of a 60-kilometer trail run, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy output.
