Sallandse Heuvelrug
SallandHeath, pine forest and sandy trails
Purple heath, pine forest and sandy trails. Enough elevation to make it count, without needing to be a mountain goat.
Trail running in the eastern Netherlands & across the border
Take your team into the woods.
TrailCrew organises guided trail runs for companies, teams and running groups in Twente and the German border region. The route, the guidance and a place to start and recover: it's all sorted. You show up and run, we do the rest.

For companies
TrailCrew Teams
Get your team out of the meeting room and take them into the woods. A morning that keeps coming up in the group chat for weeks, and that absolutely everyone can join, however fit you are.

TrailCrew Trails
You run, we handle the rest. A beautiful route, someone who knows the way and support along the trail, so the only thing on your mind is the next climb.

TrailCrew Support
Running an ultra or organising a trail event? We come with our mobile basecamp and staff the aid station, so you and your participants never run short on the way.
See what we do →The basecamp
When you arrive, everything's ready.
Every run starts and finishes in the same place: our basecamp. That's where we start with a coffee, you drop your bag and return afterwards. Along the way we're there with water, something to eat and route guidance, so nobody gets lost and everyone makes it back in one piece.

Behind TrailCrew
One person who knows the woods inside out.
I'm Sven. Trail running has been my outlet for years, and with TrailCrew I share it: not a standard package, but a tailor-made day in the finest woods in the region.

Read my story →Where we operate
From the eastern Netherlands to across the German border.
We operate across the eastern Netherlands and neighbouring Germany, roughly between Zwolle, Deventer and Osnabrück. We come to you and run in the finest nature areas of the region. These are our favourites.
Lutterzand
TwentePine forest, drift sand and the Dinkel
Along the little river Dinkel, with pine forest, drift sand and small steep banks. Surprisingly varied for somewhere so close to home.
Buurserzand
TwenteOpen heath and juniper
Rolling heath with junipers and moorland pools, near Haaksbergen. Wonderfully open and soft underfoot.
Teutoburgerwald
GermanyBeech forest, longer climbs and views
Just over the border it gets serious: longer climbs, proper forest paths and the occasional view that's well worth it.
Frequently asked questions
Good to know.
Do you need to be an experienced runner?
No. We alternate running and walking, at a pace that suits the group. You never need to have trail run before. We make sure everyone can keep up and no one is left behind.
What if levels differ a lot within the group?
We adapt the programme to that. Trained runners get extra challenge, for example with climbs or pick-ups in pace, while those who need it get more breaks and support. That way everyone has a good day.
How many people is it suitable for?
We work best with groups of 5 to 30 people. Larger groups are possible too, in which case we arrange extra guidance. Let us know your group size in your request.
How long does it take?
Count on half a day: a welcome with coffee, a briefing and warm-up, the trail itself and winding down at the basecamp. We can make the programme shorter or longer to fit your day.
What is included?
The route, experienced guidance and the basecamp as start and finish point, with coffee, tea, water, sports drink, something to eat and first aid. On longer distances also support along the way. All you need to bring is sports clothes and shoes.
What if the weather is bad?
It generally always goes ahead, the woods are especially lovely in the rain. In truly extreme weather (storms, thunder) we agree on an alternative or a new date together. Our guides always decide based on safety.
What about safety and first aid?
Our guides know the route, run along and keep the group together. Every trail has water, refreshments and first aid on hand. We tailor distance and pace to the level of the group.
What does it cost?
We work with tailor-made proposals, because every group and every day is different. Build your trail run using the configurator and we will send a fitting, no-obligation proposal with a clear price.
Can I cancel or reschedule free of charge?
Up to 14 days in advance you can cancel or reschedule free of charge. If you cancel later, we charge part of the cost for the preparation (up to 7 days before 50%, after that the full amount). If we have to move the date because of extreme weather, we always reschedule free of charge.
Where do you operate?
We work across the eastern Netherlands and the German border region: from the Sallandse Heuvelrug and Twente to the Teutoburgerwald. We come to a starting point near you or pick the finest area together.
Can we combine it with a work session?
Certainly, just mention it in your request. We can for example start and finish at your meeting venue and plan the day around it together.
How do I make a request?
Through "Build your trail run" you pass on your wishes in a few steps. You are not committed to anything. We will get in touch within one working day with a proposal.
Put together your own trail run.
Tell me about your group and what you have in mind. We'll talk it through and I'll send you a tailor-made proposal (no copy-paste).
