We started the year very good with the "Forest Trail Aalter". But there's a lot more on the program this year, for all kind of runners. Starting with the "M&M 2 days" on the 22nd and 23rd of February 2020. For the ultra runners we offer an IAU bronze label in our 24 hours running ultra race. We will also publish an intermediate score (also passed to DUV) at 100km (100,486km) and also an intermediate score for the 12 hours, without residual meters. We give also an intermediate reading at exactly 100 miles. Because of this, the first round is a bit shorter than 944,43m. Of course there is the final position after 24 hours, for which residual meters are measured by an official jury.
Until February 9th you can register at €90 and you can be sure of a technical T-shirt in your size as a memento. For participants from countries where "SEPA direct debit" is not supported, a transfer can be made to BE98 8900 2425 2758 (BIC VDSPBE91) in the name of "Marathon and More Belgium vzw", Bierweg 11, 9880 Aalter, Belgium. Please inform us by e-mail and we will give you a payment code so you can register online without having to pay online.
After February 9th you pay €100 and we can't guarantee that there will be technical T-shirt left for you. It is also not sure that the t-shirts that are left, will be in the right size for you.
During our M&M 2 days event we offer Marathon runners the possibility to run 3 of them. They can choose between a start at Saturday 4PM, 10PM or Sunday morning at 9AM. And even... why not run 2 or 3 marathons during our event? There is also a cheaper rate for the Marathon until 9th of February. We can only guarantee a T-shirt in the right size until that date.
And finally, on the M&M 2-day marathon there is also the breakfast run. You can start from 7AM until just before 11AM. You can run until 11AM. Afterwards you'll get a nice breakfast. The support-crew of the 24 hour runners can also sign up for the breakfast run. If you wish, you can also have breakfast without running. Non-runners who want breakfast just sign up for the breakfast run. For the breakfast run, the registrations are closed on 19th of February because the breakfasts have to be ordered at that time.
A sketch of the 944,43m long run is online. The event address is Emmaüsinstituut, Sint-Gerolflaan 20, 9880 Aalter, Belgium. There is a heated cafeteria at this address, as well as a dormitory. The supply consists of water, cola, isotonic drink, recuperation drink, gingerbread, sweets, chocolate, TUC, salt chips, orange, banana, pasta with sugar or various sauces (also veggie), sandwiches with chocolate spread or jam, bouillon, soup, coffee, and tea. There is at all time a first aid post available during the 24 hours. The supply remains open just like the cafeteria. There is no massage provided. If there are any questions, please mail us.
There is also a photo contest alongside the race. Send us your best photo by e-mail before the end of the month February. After that, you can vote for the best of.
Great news also is that we can inform you that our 100km race on Sunday 31st of May 2020 is again designated as Belgian Championship. This will take place again in Zwevezele on a fast track. Last year there were 2 runners under 7 hours. This is a great opportunity to run a strong 100km, or possibly the ideal test on the way to the World Cup 100km in Winschoten. Entries for this race are also open. Also here participants from countries that do not support the "SEPA direct debit" can wire transfer directly to our account. When you mail us, you will receive a code to complete your online registration.
