We (Stichting Team90) raise money for the care of people with cancer, often in the final phase of their lives, by organizing our RopaTrail Ermelo.
Ermelo is already the fifth RopaTrail that we organize as Team90.
Be surprised by the varied landscape and join us!
The Ermelosche Heide is an area of over 380 hectares located between Staverden and Ermelo. The area is part of the Veluwe moraine massif.
Dozens of burial mounds dating back thousands of years lie on the heath. They are recognizable as slight elevations in the landscape. The "start to trail" route runs along the rampart and moat of a Roman marching camp. This is the northernmost marching camp built by the Romans in the Netherlands.
The heathland is grazed by sheep from the Schapedrift Foundation. February is the height of lambing season. The lambs can be admired in the sheepfold at the visitor center (open until 4:00 PM).
We use the "social trail" principle for all our trails, with guided groups divided into two paced groups. In practice, we sometimes split up further along the way so you can always walk at a pace that suits you.
At the end of the trail, a delicious trail banquet awaits you so you can return home tired but satisfied.
For the 24 km there is after the 1ste loop a supply to replenish reserves and the 2the to be able to continue the loop.

About Ermelo
Ermelo, located in the Veluwe region, is a prime location for trail running, thanks to its rich natural landscapes and varied terrain. This area in the heart of the Netherlands is surrounded by dense forests, vast heathlands, and sand drifts, which together offer a challenging and varied course for runners of all levels.
The trail run near Ermelo leads participants through the Speulder and Sprielderbos, known as "the forest of the dancing trees." These mysterious, ancient forests, with their bizarrely shaped trees, provide a magical backdrop for the run. The route continues across the Ermelosche Heide, where the vastness and tranquility of the landscape form a stark contrast to the technical challenges of the wooded areas.
This unique course combines technical trails with fast sections and offers breathtaking views that motivate runners to keep going. Participants in the trail run in Ermelo can enjoy the tranquility of nature while pushing their physical and mental limits.It is an ultimate experience that makes the adventurous heart beat faster and further ignites the love for nature.
