At the time when the BUT100 will be organised, nature will turn green again. The vast nature reserve between Belgium, Leende, Valkenswaard and Eindhoven will be the setting of this special Ultra Trail. In addition to a large medal, finishers also receive UTMB Index points. Runners with a UTMB Index have exclusive access to the presale period for the UTMB World Series Events and Majors.

Running for hours surrounded by beautiful nature, beautiful hours by yourself, on your way back to civilization.

We keep this event small, with a maximum of 200 participants.

BUT100

The Brabantse Ultra Trail (BUT100) is an event in which the participants run at least 50km. The BUT100 has 2 unique loops (North – South) and the start/finish will be in the middle of those loops. When you choose to run the 100km distance, you will return to our Base-Camp, so you will be able to get ready for the second and final loop.

Since 2024, a 75km distance has also been added to the BUT100. This 75km Ultra runs 25km of the first loop (North) and the entire 50km of the second loop (South).

You will run across the Groote Heide, which stretches between Eindhoven – Valkenswaard – Achel (Belgium) – Soerendonk – Leende – and Heeze. There will be lots of single tracks and a lot of beautiful natural settings. A crew of Ultra Trailrunners will stand by you all day.

Specials

In addition to the BUT100, we have 2 other Ultra Events with a Base Camp at the center, following the same concept. The UHUT100 at the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the VUT100 at the Veluwe.

These Ultra Events are specials. More and more trail running enthusiasts want to run an Ultra Trail and preferably among many other experienced Ultra Trail runners. The routes of the 50km are the same as those of the 100km. This makes you a part of the event as a whole. You will experience the unique atmosphere and you are thereby provided with all the care and guidance you need to complete your journey.

We know this area by heart

The BUT100 area has been Chris van Beem’s training grounds for over 10 years. You are guaranteed to come across the most beautiful trails in the area. You will realize that the Groote Heide is huge (which explains the name, as “groote” actually means “big”).

Practical information

We start in the middle of nature. You can easily stay at our partner Hotel Jagerhorst, the start and finish will be on their grounds.

All participants who want to run a 50km Ultra Trail can choose the North Loop early in the morning, which goes towards Eindhoven, or the South Loop in the afternoon, which goes towards the Belgium border.

The 100km Ultra Trail participants start early on the North Loop and after the first loop they will pass trough the Base Camp whereafter the 2nd South Loop starts.

The participants of the new 75km Ultra first run 25km of the North Loop. These participants start 2 hours after the start of the 50km North and the 100km participants, which means they will be back at the base camp at approximately the same time. From the base camp they run the entire South Loop.

Because of this concept, 100km or 75km runners will be able to run the second loop together with a participant who covers the 50km distance! With the LIVE tracking tool, teams can plan this easily.

Partner Hotel Jagershorst is located along the A2 at the bottom of the exit towards Valkenswaard and on the edge of the Leenderbossen.
The Hotel is beautifully situated in the middle of the Groote Heide.
Hotel Jagershorst is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes from Utrecht, 45 minutes from Breda, 50 minutes from Maastricht and only 10 minutes from Eindhoven.
Parking is possible on the grounds of the hotel.
