Back then we had a 45km, an 80km and a 160km run. For many (trail)runners, it was their first encounter with ultratrails. The Escapardenne trail had just been established and was a very thankfull solution for both the race course and the race name. Over the years we had many epic editions, and also added the Walk option. And now we think it&#8217;s time for something extra&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Escape the Ordinary<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:159\">Embark on an extraordinary journey through the heart of the Ardennes.
