Overview

The UHUT UtrechtseHeuvelUltratrail 75 km, organised by Trailrunning Europe, has been held 2 times in Leersum since 2025. With 28 finishers in its latest edition, it draws a smaller field than 31% of 50-mile trail races.

Runners face a 10-hour time limit for the 75 km distance, allowing for a maximum pace of 8 minutes per kilometer. This cutoff is tighter than 96% of 50-mile trail races. The course consists of a 25 km loop followed by a 50 km loop, starting at Molecaten Park Landgoed Ginkelduin and passing the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
