Nighttrail
October 11, 2025
Step into the night and let the trail light your way.
What?
On October 11, De Schorre will be the setting for an extraordinary adventure. During the 2nd edition of the Nighttrail you will explore a unique course through the dark, illuminated by atmospheric lights and surprising elements. No classic race, no chrono ticking, just you, your lamp, the night and the path in front of you. It's all about experience and enjoyment. The familiar paths of the Schorre look completely different at night: mysterious, exciting and sometimes a bit magical. Sometimes the lights guide you, sometimes you trust your instincts. Every turn, every step brings new surprises. Ready to experience De Schorre in a whole new way with Nighttrail?

FAQ
Is it mandatory to wear a walking light?
Yes, it is mandatory for every runner to carry a running light. This is to ensure safety as the course is not fully lit everywhere. Still looking for a new lamp? Here you will find several options.
Is the trail lit?
The course is clearly marked off and equipped with ambient lighting. This is not enough to fully illuminate the entire course. Therefore, it is mandatory for each participant to provide their own lighting.
Are dogs allowed?
Due to the unique course with many narrow trails, dogs are not allowed at this event.
Do you need trail shoes, or will regular road shoes suffice?
