Following your comments to our slightly changed bike course, we have spent some evenings behind the ‘drawing table’ once again and have tried – together with all parties involved – to shorten the bike course where possible. Good news: we succeeded!
We will skip the section in the Kromslootpark and follow the same route as we did last year for the Middle Distance. This year all athletes will follow that route: both Long Distance and Middle Distance athletes. That will make a significant difference in distance and we will save our participants a few kilometers.
The Long Distance bike course is now 181.5 kilometers.
The Middle Distance Bike Course is now 96 kilometers.

We have also updated our athlete guide. The latest version can be found here: https://challenge-family.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Athlete_Guide_2022_ENG.pdf
