What’s the Difference Between the STYREKX Championships and the Dutch Fitness Racing Championships?

On November 21, 2026, STYREKX Amsterdam will host two major championships: the international STYREKX Championships and the official Dutch Fitness Racing Championships, organized by the Dutch Fitness Federation (NLFB).

Both championships take place within the same XTREME race. The difference? The STYREKX Championships are international, while the Dutch Fitness Racing Championships focus on Dutch national titles, including titles in different age categories. With an XTREME ticket, you’re automatically entered into the STYREKX Championships. Want to compete for a Dutch national title as well? All you need to do is register for free with the Dutch Fitness Federation.
