GELREMANTRIATHLON

The earlier you register, the cheaper it is! That way you set your own price, we know where we stand and we can prepare everything well in time. We do want to offer the option of registering later, but a different price applies then. Up to and including 15 October 2026 you can register if you sign up a volunteer. That is hugely appreciated! In return you get the lowest entry fee of the year, and a pair of finisher socks waiting for you once you cross the line. Rates up to and including 15 October: Full Distance €275 Eigenwijze half €190 Half Distance €175 Quarter Distance €85 From 16 to 31 October the early bird rate applies: Full Distance €295 Eigenwijze half €210 Half Distance €195 Quarter Distance €105 From 1 November up to and including 30 June the regular rate applies: Full Distance €315 Eigenwijze half €230 Half Distance €215 Quarter Distance €125 And last-minute deciders can register, if places are still available, from 1 July up to and including 7 August for: Full Distance €340 Eigenwijze half €255 Half Distance €240 Quarter Distance €150 All amounts exclude administration fees and the NTB licence. You can add a day licence while registering; an annual licence you arrange directly with the Dutch triathlon federation at triathlonbond.nl.

You need a licence to take part in the Gelreman. Among other things, it tells us that you are insured. You get a licence with a membership of the Dutch triathlon federation (NTB). You may also hold a licence from another federation. Foreign triathlon licences are valid for all Gelreman distances. A KNWU (cycling), athletics or KNZB (swimming) licence is only valid up to and including the Quarter Distance. If you show one of these licences and meet the conditions above, you do not need a day licence. If you do not have a licence, you buy a day licence while registering. We arrange everything else with the NTB behind the scenes. Full Distance €68.50 De Eigenwijze €46.00 Half Distance €46.00 Quarter Distance €17.50 If you do have a licence, there is nothing extra to pay; you enter your licence number when you register. And you bring your licence to the race. You can join the NTB at any time at triathlonbond.nl. The longer the distance and the more races you do, the more worthwhile NTB membership becomes compared to buying separate day licences. The NTB offers two types of membership: club membership and individual membership. See triathlonbond.nl for more information. NTB membership runs per calendar year. Would you like to join and already benefit from it at the Gelreman 2027? Then state when registering that you are a member and sign up with the NTB from 1 January 2027. You can add your licence number afterwards via your dashboard.

Included with every distance: a great day out for you and your spectators, a finisher shirt, a finisher medal and, after a day of racing, a good massage and a meal.

Absolutely. The Quarter Distance is the entry distance: 1 km swim, 45 km bike and 10 km run. The Half Distance and De Eigenwijze are popular with athletes stepping up from shorter distances. As long as you can swim, cycle and run and have a base level of fitness, you are welcome. The Full Distance is within reach too: every year first-timers finish the full distance, with 6 to 9 months of focused preparation.

Full Distance is the classic 226 km: 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km run. Half Distance is exactly half: 1.9 km, 90 km and 21.1 km. Quarter Distance is the entry distance: 1 km, 45 km and 10 km. De Eigenwijze swims and runs the half distance but rides 135 km instead of 90. Full Distance Team is the full distance shared across a team. All distances start from the same location with the same organisation and atmosphere.

Yes. With Full Distance Team you take on the full distance as a team: you divide the swim, the bike and the run between you. The other distances are completed individually.

Registration stays open until the places are full. Based on previous editions we advise registering early: in 2026, 847 triathletes crossed the finish line. Up-to-date information about closing dates is communicated via the newsletter.

The race goes ahead as long as it is safe for participants, volunteers and everyone else involved. In case of thunderstorms or extreme heat, for example, we may have to make changes, such as cancelling the swim or shortening distances. In the most extreme case we may have to cancel the race. Let's hope it never comes to that. If the event is cancelled or parts of it are changed due to force majeure (such as weather conditions, emergencies, government measures or other circumstances beyond the organisation's control), you are not entitled to a refund of the entry fee or compensation for costs incurred, because in these situations too most of the costs have already been made. All participants will of course be informed in good time.

You pay when you register. Registration is currently moving to a new system; as soon as it opens, the registration page will explain exactly how payment works. You can always withdraw; the earlier you do, the more you get back according to the cancellation scale in the rules. Even after 8 August you still get €10 back.
