The first live running events are already over. Belgium diagonal was a fun but tough experience with a pleasant group of runners. The jubilee edition of the 6 hours of Aalter was also enjoyed and we look back on it with satisfaction. You can look back at these and other past events in our archive.
But we are already looking ahead. On Friday 3 September we have something new. The Wuk M&M Backyard ultra. Every hour there will be a start for a round of 6km706m. Everyone who finishes the lap in one hour and is on time for the next lap remains in the race. More and more runners drop out until only one is left. This last (wo)man standing then becomes the winner.
On 7 November, we have 20 places available for those who want to try-out the Sinterklaastrail. The try-outs are always pleasant runs. We run in groups until the last supply and exchange many experiences. You can run the last part at your own pace with the gpx file that we distribute. On Saturday 4 December there is the event Sinterklaastrail. Through the beautiful Drongengoed forest, largest forest area of East Flanders. Not to be missed for the real trail runners and those who love running in nature.
Sunday 12 December we will set out the Warande Park course in Aalter. Free start to choose from a number of time slots with limited number of participants. We will provide time registration, refreshments, a result on lap time and marathon distance, and a prize in kind for every participant. Afterwards you can have a nice chat over a drink. A formula we want to promote further after the corona restrictions. Because 12 December is World Light Day, we light the candles at 19h and support the charities Berrefonds and Vilomah.
There will also be a try-out for the Bostrails Aalter on Sunday 26 December. The event Bostrails Aalter itself will take place on Saturday 15 January 2022. We run through the largest forest area of West Flanders. This one too is not to be missed for trail runners and those who like to walk in nature.
The registrations for the Backyard are already open with direct online payment. The registrations for the other events will open on Sunday 1 August at 8 am. If you already register during August or September, payment will only be made on 1 October, and for the Aalter forest trails on 2 November.
