About us
How it all started
Mark van Hoorn and René Bleuanus grew up together in Gorinchem and were both members of the local triathlon club. After losing touch during their study years they reconnected through running. Mark had become Race Director of Bridge to Bridge in Arnhem while René was an avid trailrunner with a strong interest in WWII history.
Together they founded the Liberation Trail. Both are passionate ultra-runners and experienced organizers of events such as the HoHo100 Black Devils Run Ultra Festival Biesbosch Ultra Crossing and Backyard Trail NL. With their ultra-heart and experience you’re in good hands.
