Transferring your starting licence is possible free of charge until 1st of June 2023. To do so, send an e-mail to mutaties@mudsweattrails.nl with:

the entry ticket, the NAME, E-MAIL ADDRESS, DATE OF BIRTH and PLACE OF RESIDENCE of your replacement.

Changes are handled in badges, so confirmation of your change may take some time.

Friday 16 June: 5.00pm to 7pm
Saturday 17 June: 7.30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Sunday 18 June: 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m.

Parking near start-finish is possible. Please follow the directions of the parking attendants when looking for a parking space. You may have to walk 15 minutes to the start location after parking. So keep that in mind when planning your travel time. Especially for participants starting later!

For 16 – 17 June and for 17 – 18 June, we offer the following accommodation options:

• Bed on 3 or 4 pers. room Chateau de Wanne (500m start-finish)

With this option, you individually book a bed on a multi-person room (max. 3 or 4 people). They are simple rooms with a shared bathroom. Cost: 37.50 euros per person per night.

• Double room Chateau de Wanne (500m start-finish)

As a duo, you can book a double room. One of you two does the booking for this. This person is the main booker and checks in for both of you at the venue. This is a simple room with shared bathroom. Cost: 75 euro per room per night.

• Own tent pitch at start-finish (max 2 people in tent). Cost: 25 euros per tent per night.

On Saturday 17 June you can join other participants for a meal (pasta, salad bar, barbecue) at the finish line in the atmospheric mountain hut ‘Val de Wanne’ at the end of the afternoon.

In the evening, the party continues here on the terrace on top of the mountain until the last finishers of the night-trail!

On Sunday morning 18 June, a breakfast buffet (various breads, croissants, muesli, homemade jams, cold cuts, cheese, bacon, egg, fruit, juice, coffee, etc.) will be provided here.

Three weeks before the event, you will receive an email from us to sign up for this.

HEADLAMP
To participate in the Night Trail, a good headlamp is mandatory. For this purpose, we have also put together an offer in cooperation with the Ledlenser brand. A lamp we have chosen because in terms of performance it is excellent for this challenge and has a good price-quality ratio. For participants from 59.90 euros for 49.90 euros.

• Order Ledlenser NEO5R

TROUBLE-FREE TRAIL RUNNING WITH THE RIGHT SOCKS
Problem-free trailing is done with Bridgedale socks. We have a lot of experience with this sock, in wet, mountainous, cold, hot and prolonged treks and races. We selected the Bridgedale Lightweight T2 Merino for the Trails in Ardennes and offer them at a competitive price.

• LADIES model
• MEN model

For the Haute Ardenne Ultra Trail Festival, we are looking for people who want to support this. Are you interested in putting yourself in from the sidelines for once? Commit yourself for a day or the weekend and you can then participate in another of our races. We will also close the year with all volunteers, for which you will also receive an invitation. Mail to: vrijwilligers@mudsweattrails.nl to sign up. For example: manning the registration desk, working at a care station, bringing in and welcoming participants, acting as the last runner or setting out the course.

Information on the rules for participation will follow.

The distances have separate start times and logically different time limits to finish.

Saturday 17 June

50 km / 2,000d+: start time 8am (time limit 11 hours)
30 km / 1,200d+: start time 9.30 am (time limit 6 hours)

These limits are based on other results. Please note: the above start times are still subject to change! The times on this page are leading.

In hot weather, make sure you have enough fluids. The advice is to take at least one litre of water along the way.

In the last mailing you will receive the links to your route(s), which also include the supply stations.

A professional medical team has been deployed on both days to provide First Aid. First aid is available at the start and finish area. And mobile deployment using motorbikes and quad bikes. On the inside of your starting number you will find the first aid number. In case of emergency, always call 112. Always communicate the location and start number to the services as precisely as possible.

The road crossings are not manned. You are personally responsible to pay attention and observe traffic rules.

There are prizes for the first three runners (M – V separately) at all distances.

‘Leave nothing but foot prints’. The HAUT festival is organised in a beautiful nature reserve. We aim to use the area without unnecessarily burdening the area and the animals living there.At trail races, participants bring their own waste. Think of waste from energy gels and bars. A clean trail increases the chances that the event can count on a permit again next year. As organisers, we count on your cooperation. Participants who do not abide by these rules may be disqualified by the race management.

Some sustainability measures we are also taking with regard to the event: we are encouraging carpooling as much as possible. The medals are made of bioplastic (potato peels) and are fully biodegradable. We try to separate waste as much as possible and use biodegradable cups for catering. Plastic cups will not be used at the feeding stations either.
