This page has not been updated for the 55th Batavierenrace yet. Some information may still be from the previous edition.

For runners and volunteers, it is possible to stay overnight at the Carillon campsite on the University of Twente campus. This is open to visitors from Friday 23 April 15:00 until Sunday 25 April 11:00. Camping on the campsites is free.

Camping rules

To ensure that the campsite is used properly, there are some (behavioral) rules that everyone should adhere to. Please read these carefully, because teams that do not follow these rules will be subject to sanctions!

The campsite rules are as follows:

  • Vehicles on or near the edge of the camping area are not allowed! You risk a fine. Parking is available in parking lots P1 and P2
  • The campsite opens on Friday at 15:00; no tents may be set up before then
  • Report to the site huts on arrival. A campsite coordinator will show you to a spot
  • The campsites are marked with lines for fire safety; make sure you place your tent within these lines
  • Place your tent at a distance of three meters from other tents
  • The campsite has a limited capacity, so "full is full". When the campsite is full, you can still get sleeping wristbands for the sports centre at the information desk
  • Only tents with a maximum area of 10 m² are allowed
  • Party tents and tipi tents are prohibited and will be confiscated if set up
  • Creating open fire (including barbecues) is strictly prohibited

  • There is no charging point in the sports centre this year. Bringing power banks is recommended
  • Bringing high-pressure bottles is not allowed
  • Professional security and police are present at all times. Still, do not leave valuables behind! Lockers are available in the sports centre. The organisation is not responsible for theft or loss
  • Report calamities to the supervisors. You can find them on the campsite or at the site huts
  • In a life-threatening situation: call 112!
  • The campsite is for sleeping: be quiet at night and do not keep partying
  • Throw your garbage in the containers or in the garbage areas. Garbage bags are available at the site huts and from the supervisors
  • You have to leave the site by 11:00 on Sunday morning at the latest
  • Smoking on the campsites is prohibited
  • Generators on the campsites are prohibited
  • White goods are not allowed
  • If you do not follow these rules, you can be removed from the site
  • The organisation reserves the right to occasionally deviate from these rules

Sleeping in the Enschede sports centre: nice and warm indoors

Not a fan of camping? Or would you rather sleep nice and warm indoors, with the toilets and showers in the same building? In the sports centre you can be sure you stay warm and dry, and are woken up in time for your stage! With sleeping vouchers you can sleep in the sports halls of the University of Twente. You do need to bring your own sleeping bag and air mattress or mat, but you can leave your tent at home!

Your team captain can buy the sleeping vouchers through the online voucher sale. Keep an eye on our website for the voucher sale of the coming edition.
