The subscriptions have opened!

Yes you read correctly, registrations are actually open. You can register via inschrijven.nl. Make sure that there is one team leader who registers the whole team. The cost for a student team will be 18 euros, the price for an “out of competition” team is 27 euros. This is in line with the guidelines of Studenten Sport Nederland.

To make a mixed team it is mandatory to have at least 15 km run by women. This is allowed to be more, but not less.

Registration options for food, parties and overnight stay will follow later!

Hope to see you then!
The NSK Ekiden Committee

The story of our first sponsor: Appeltje!

Healthy eating and an active lifestyle are crucial, especially for students who (still) often opt for cheap and unhealthy food. However, in the shadow of the University of Twente (UT), a collaboration is blossoming that not only joins forces of local parties, but also emphasises the importance of healthy eating and exercise. This collaboration, formed by Appeltje, the Netherlands’ fresh specialist, and the NSK Ekiden, is more than just a relay race; it is a culmination of healthy and sustainable initiatives.

NSK Ekiden: More than just a relay

The NSK Ekiden, an annual relay race organised for and by students, is an event that promotes sportsmanship and togetherness. Teams of students run together like a well-oiled machine, and the event embodies the importance of team spirit and perseverance. But this year’s NSK Ekiden goes beyond physical exertion; it also emphasises the value of a healthy lifestyle.

Appeltje: The nutrition specialist!

In the world of healthy food, Appeltje is a household name. As a 100-year-old family business, Appeltje has established itself as the fresh food specialist in the Netherlands. Not only do they supply fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy snacks, but they also strive to create awareness about the importance of nutrition for a healthy life.
Appeltje does this by also supplying businesses, schools and institutions with fresh fruit but also makes non-preserved and pure foods such as soup, fruit juice, nuts, farmhouse dairy and muesli available to businesses and consumers.
In addition, Appeltje is active in collaborating and sponsoring local and national parties that respond to the importance of healthy eating, exercise and strengthening the local economy.

A healthy collaboration

The partnership between Appeltje and NSK Ekiden is no coincidence. Both are local entities that understand that healthy eating and exercise go hand in hand. Students, often exposed to cheap, unhealthy options, need alternatives that are both nutritious and affordable. Apple not only puts healthy options within reach, but also encourages awareness about the importance of good nutrition as well as the importance of adequate exercise.
The NSK Ekiden provides an event where healthy habits can be promoted. Joining forces with Appeltje reinforces the message that health is not only built on the track, but also in the choices we make outside it.

Together, let’s run the marathon to a healthier, more conscious future!
