Teams start at 09:30, half an hour after the solo runners. From that moment on it is all about rhythm, precision and helping each other push forward, from the first lap to the final meters. The 10x10 km relay has been one of the most energetic parts of RUN Winschoten for years.
While the solo runners complete the full 100 km, you share the challenge with your team. The pace is high, the atmosphere is intense and every changeover brings new tension to the race.

A team race with character
The relay is ideal for teams who want to experience the full 100 km together, but prefer to split the distance. Each runner takes a 10 km lap and then the changeover takes place in the official changeover zone. Teams consist of 5 to 10 runners. It is allowed for one runner to run multiple stages, as long as there is a changeover.
Company teams may bring a maximum of 3 guest runners, provided they are demonstrably linked to the company. This keeps the category fair and recognizable.
Winschoten veranderd in een groot feest!
A course made for speed and experience
The course is a flat, traffic-free 10 km circuit through Winschoten and Heiligerlee. It has been officially measured with the Jones Counter and meets all requirements for Dutch, European and world records.
Please note: the course is not suitable for wheelers, and accompanying cyclists are not allowed.
There are two aid stations and two water stations along the route. Personal refreshments may only be handed out at the aid stations. This applies in particular to solo runners, but relay teams can benefit from this when needed.
Changeovers, team order and dropouts
The bib numbers determine the order:
number ends in 1 → runner 1
number ends in 2 → runner 2
…
number ends in 10 → last runner
Does a team member drop out due to injury? Report this to the officials in the changeover zone. One hour after this report, the next runner may start. This way the team can still finish the race.
Timekeeping: MyLaps chips
Each team receives two rental MyLaps chips for timekeeping. Important:
- do not use your own chip
- the chip from runner 1 is passed on to runner 3, the chip from runner 2 to runner 4, and so on
- missing chips will be invoiced afterwards (€25 per chip)
Registration: easy and online
Teams register via MyLaps and pay with iDEAL, Sofort or credit card. Do you cancel your participation before 10 August 2025? Then the entry fee will be refunded minus €10 administration costs. After 11 August, refunds are no longer possible.
After registration you will receive a confirmation email and a password so you can change details yourself when needed.
