The Batavierenrace is the largest relay race in the world and also the largest student event of the Netherlands. At midnight on the 24th of April 2010, the starting shot of the 38th edition of the Batavierenrace will sound. It is a relay race over 177 km from Nijmegen to Enschede, divided into 25 stages (17 men's stages and 8 women's stages) varying from 3.3 km to 11.2 km. More than 300 teams (which means more than 7,500 students) participate in this race. Afterwards, the biggest student party of the Netherlands takes place on the campus of the University of Twente, with over 12,000 visitors.
