eurotrip 2025

Welcome to the Adventure of a Lifetime!

EuroTrip is a team race from one European city to another European city. Team consists of 6-8 runners and they have to find there own course from start to finish and several mandatory checkpoints on the way!

The race connects runners, cities and Europe as a whole (more then needed). EuroTrip shows that running is bigger than borders and that team work makes the dream work. Each team consists of 6 to 8 runners. Teams are free to switch as much as they want between runners, but with one rule: there is always at least one runner running.

First edition was from Bruges to Cologne. We had 8 teams on the starting line. Second edition we raced from Cologne to Strasbourg and we had 18 team on the starting line. Last year we raced with 30 teams through the Alps to Innsbruck.

Now it is time for the next adventure. With 36 teams we will leave Innsbruck and go to the sunny side of the Alps: SLOVENIA! We will cross 3 countries this year (or more if your navigation skills are shit).
