Description

Join our Warmest Ultra Marathon Challenge!

THE WARMEST WEEK contacted us whether Triple Challenge would like to provide a final stunt during the closing days of Warmest Week again this year. Yes! We are once again doing the Warmest Inclusive Ultra Marathon Challenge from December 22 to December 23. This is the chance to raise money for Warmest Week.

Join us and run, roll, bike or cheer along to Bruges! The course is divided into 13 stages, so you can start and stop at different locations (or do like Wannes and some other ultra athletes and go for the full 184km 🫣). Sponsor €1 (or more) for every kilometer you cover. You can decide how many kilometers you want to contribute! The more people on the Warmest Square in Bruges the more impact!

The supersonic, mega fantastic flaming relay of DWW2023

With this warmest ultra marathon, we have 1 goal: to light up the Warmest Square in Bruges like wildfire with our inclusive #triplechallengeheroes flame. We start from the Warmest Square of 2022 in Hasselt where we light our inclusive torch. Via a 184 km route, we will walk up to ‘t Zand in Bruges to transmit our flame to the radio presenters on stage.
