Terms of Service

Last updated: 12 September 2026

These terms apply to your use of ultramarathonsbenelux.com. By browsing the site you accept them. If you do not, please stop using the site. We may change these terms as the site changes; the date above tells you when they were last revised.

1. What this site is

Ultramarathons Benelux is an information directory. It lists ultramarathons, trail races, backyard ultras and timed events in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, together with editorial descriptions and articles. How the calendar is compiled is described on our about page.

The site is free to use and requires no account. It is funded by advertising and affiliate links, which are described in section 7.

2. What this site is not

We do not organise, promote, time, insure or sanction any of the events listed here, and we have no relationship with the organisers beyond reading their published information. We are not a ticket seller or entry agent. When you follow a registration link you leave this site and enter into a contract with the organiser, under their terms and their refund policy. We are not a party to it.

We cannot help with entries, payments, refunds, transfers, results, bib collection, cut-off times or anything else that belongs to a specific event. Those questions go to the organiser, and every race page links to them.

3. Accuracy of the information

We take care to keep the calendar correct and we correct mistakes when we find them or when readers report them. We cannot guarantee that any particular entry is accurate, complete or current. Dates move, distances are revised, courses are rerouted, mandatory kit lists change and events are cancelled, sometimes at short notice and sometimes without any public announcement we can detect.

The organiser's own website is always the authority. Before you pay an entry fee, book travel or accommodation, or travel to a start line, confirm the details there. If you find something wrong here, please tell us through the contact form.

4. Risk and limitation of liability

Ultrarunning carries a real risk of injury and, in extreme cases, death. Training for and competing in the events listed here is your decision and your responsibility, taken in light of your own fitness and medical circumstances.

The articles on this site are general information for healthy adults, not medical, coaching, nutritional or safety advice for your individual situation. They are not a substitute for professional advice, and you should seek that advice where it matters.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for loss or damage arising from your use of this site or from reliance on information published here, including inaccurate race details, travel or entry costs incurred for an event that changes or is cancelled, injury sustained while training or racing, or the acts of any third party whose site we link to. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. See also our disclaimer.

5. Acceptable use

You may read, link to, print and share pages of this site freely. You may not:

• systematically copy or bulk-extract the calendar in order to republish it as a competing listing, whether by automated means or by hand;
• place load on the site that interferes with other people using it, or attempt to circumvent any technical measure protecting it;
• use the contact form to send bulk or unsolicited commercial messages;
• present the site or its content as your own, or imply that we endorse you or your event.

If you want to use the calendar data in a project, ask us through the contact form. We are generally happy to say yes, and it costs nothing to check.

6. Content and intellectual property

The editorial text on this site — race descriptions, guides, articles and the layout and design — belongs to us. Quote a short extract with a link if it is useful to you; do not republish whole pages.

Facts about a race — its name, date, distance and location — are not ours to own, and race names, logos and trademarks belong to their organisers. If you are an organiser and you want a listing corrected, or removed, tell us and we will handle it.

7. Advertising and affiliate links

The site carries third-party advertising, served by advertising networks rather than by us, and affiliate links to retailers and accommodation. If you buy something after following an affiliate link we may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you. Those links are marked where they appear.

Commercial arrangements never determine which races are listed or how they are described. Organisers do not pay to appear and cannot pay for better placement. What data advertising partners collect, and how to change your consent, is set out in our privacy policy.

8. Links to other sites

We link heavily to organiser websites, because they are the source of the information here. We do not control those sites, we are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

9. Your wishlist

The wishlist feature saves the races you mark in your own browser's local storage. There is no account and nothing is sent to us, which means it is private to that browser, it will not follow you to another device, and clearing your browser data will erase it. Keep your own note of anything you would be upset to lose.

10. Availability

The site is provided as it is, without any guarantee of uninterrupted availability. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it, including individual listings and articles, without notice.

11. Questions about these terms

Questions, complaints and requests about these terms go through the contact form, and we would rather hear about a problem early than late.
