Other questions
The organiser, MD Lopers, publishes the latest details on their own website. Calendar listings can fall out of date, so check the official event page before you travel or enter.
Yes. The race is run over five laps, so you will pass the start and finish area several times during the day.
The listing describes the course as being between 42 and 44 kilometres. The lap-based layout means the measured distance can vary slightly, and the organiser confirms the official figure on their site.
Assen and Groningen both offer a wide choice of hotels and are within easy driving distance of Schipborg. Booking early is wise because December is a busy month in the region.
Expect cold, damp and possibly windy conditions, with temperatures often close to freezing. Layering and a windproof outer layer make the day far more comfortable.
