Bearsports - Heuvelland marathon
The ultimate team challenge in the Heuvelland! Start at the top of the Three-Country Point in Vaals and finish in Gulpen. The course covers 42.2 km and mostly follows unpaved paths through the picturesque South Limburg hilly landscape. The course is overall downhill, but make no mistake, our course designer has a few tough climbs in store for you! The marathon is divided into 4 stages of approximately 10 km (~10.2 + 11 + 7 + 14).
