The Mastboscross offers various distances for recreational runners: the Recreantencross of 5 km and the Tankbaan of 12 km or 20 km. Do you have a loyal four-legged friend? Then you can choose bikejoring, skeejoring, or a short or long canicross.

Wings for Life World Run

4 May 2025

Wings for Life World Run is a unique worldwide running event. All runners from all participating countries start exactly at the same time. The registration fee for Wings for Life goes to a good cause, supporting research into spinal cord injuries. What makes Wings for Life special is that there is no clear finishing line. You run until you are overtaken by the Catcher Car, which starts driving half an hour after the starting shot and progressively goes faster.
