The Running Dutchman is an international trail and ultra running magazine, with a special eye on Europe.

Here you find the latest news, gear and race reviews, new ideas and scientific insights on how to train smarter instead of harder, injury prevention tips, fun podcasts and interviews with the best trail and ultra runners and runners like you, who share their secrets of combining running, family and work.

But that’s not all, because we also have great training plans for you that we’ve written and tested ourselves or that we’ve tried out on our friends. On top of that we offer you strength training courses and yoga classes to stay flexible and focussed.

All our writers are trail and ultra runners themselves, who love ploughing through the mud, racing down mountains, climbing steep hills and fighting against the wind for hours and hours at a time.

And when they take a rest, they have their nose in the newest running books and scientific reports, to update you on how to train and what to wear.

But enough about us, let’s go back to why you’re here; running.
