What happens on the card

A backyard ultra in a Flemish village: every hour the bell rings and the runners set off on the next loop. Tap when the bell rings and the green ring pulses; the loops fly by in time-lapse, day and night, a waffle, a headlamp, a nap-run in pyjamas. At loop 124, the world record, the finish arch, and the birthday cake on the soup table.

Who it is for

Runners and marathoners, ultra trail people, the friend who runs to work, and anyone who never stops.
