Strong Viking in Wijchen, Netherlands. 18 events over 3 days, Jun 11–13, 2027.
Strong Viking Wijchen 2027 is the summer edition in the Berendonck recreation area near Nijmegen, and the only stop on the calendar that runs across three days. The course mixes muddy trails, grassy fields and the brand's signature water obstacles, with waves on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Six start options share the same loop: the 4 km Beginning, the 4 km Family Run for younger Vikings, Lightning (7 km, 25 obstacles), Warrior (13 km, 35), Beast (19 km, 45) and the 42 km Iron Viking. Three race days make this the easiest Strong Viking to fit around a weekend trip, and the Friday usually has the quietest field.
The organizer has not published start times yet. Waves fill up.
