Overview
With 6.5 meters of climb per kilometer and 520 meters of total elevation gain across 80 kilometers, the SallandTrail in Nijverdal presents an exceptionally flat profile for a trail race in the 50mi bracket. The gentle terrain allows runners to maintain a continuous, rhythm-driven pace without the severe ascents typical of the distance.
Held in March, the event drew 81 finishers in 2026, giving it a bigger field than 68% of 50mi races and a smaller field than 31% across 679 peers. Having staged 10 editions since 2015, the race offers a well-tested early-season test in the Netherlands at an entry fee of 42 euros.
