Newsletter January 2020


First and foremost we wish you a Healthy and Happy new (running) year. In January we look back at the past year 2019.  We organized our busy Bostrail (ForestTrail) Aalter and Sinterklaas Trail. You can reminisce about the Sinterklaas Trail through our archive. The participator number at our first Runners Talk Info evening and the 6 hours of Aalter gave us satisfaction. Both the BK 100km with the men and the 6 hours of Aalter had a nice and exciting course. The Sinterklaas Trail was the first edition and we found some learning points. Despite the growth in the number of ultra-runners on trails, this growth in performance-oriented ultra-runners on the road remains out. For example, the turnout on the 100km was particularly disappointing and this will be the big challenge for 2020 together with the 24 hours.

We are always looking ahead. Entries for all races up to and including July 2020 are open already. Especially the Running Center ForestTrails and the Piseach! M&M 2-day races are coming soon. Do you want to run trails from 10 to 46km on or do you prefer a breakfast run, one or more of our marathons, or the 24 hours, don't wait any longer to register. For the 24 hours we would like to see at least 50 runners at the start, otherwise we will be forced to reconsider the concept.

Because the ForestTrails are already on the calendar this month, here some practical info. Address is Lindestraat 17, in Aalter (SportsSite). On Saturday we are open as from 8:15 AM. The organization is cup free, and you can finish until 4:30 PM. Also make sure you park your car correctly because every year police checks occur.

We hope to meet you back at our ForestTrail on the 18th of January 2020, or later this year at one of our other events.
