The Fatum run is the run with the greatest number of participants on the island. Last year 1,688 participants finished the run. This year is the 25th time the run takes place and Fatum, one of the largest insurers in the Netherlands Antilles, hopes to get 2,500 participants. The majority of the participants walks. Every year fast runners from other countries, among others, Aruba participate.

De Start of the Fatum run

For the real endurance sportsman with enough vacation time it is possible to combine the BDO off road sprint triathlon and the Fatum run.

The Duo extreme MTB is the hardest MTB-competition on the island. You must reach the finish of the 65 kilometer competition together with your team mate. The track is across unpaved roads, goes through two saltpans (mud), across a beach made up of debris of coral rock, over hills and meandering paths and ends with a run of 15 kilometers, facing the wind, along the north coast of the island (where the terrain can be rather muddy after rainfall)
