The 54th Batavierenrace
Next year, the Batavierenrace is back on April 23 and 24. Get ready for a new edition with an extra anniversary theme! A lot of work is being done behind the scenes to make the 55th edition a great success once again.
On Friday, April 23, 2027, the starting gun will be fired in Nijmegen, and on April 24 we will finish again in Enschede. In 25 stages, we will cover 175 km together, running through the beautiful nature of the Netherlands and Germany, and afterward closing the relay race with the biggest student party in the Netherlands!
Want to help as a volunteer?
For the organization of the Batavierenrace, we will of course need many volunteers again. If you are thinking: “I’d love to contribute to this amazing student event,” then also keep an eye on the website — registrations for volunteers will open soon as well!
We as the organizing committee are really looking forward to it, and we hope to see you all in May!
