In 2024, the Dutch Ultraloop Stein Foundation organized a non-stop relay on May 4 and 5, to commemorate 80 years of liberation.

This was a 296 km long run from the World War II Transit Camp Westerbork in the North to Stein in the South of the Netherlands, as part of a series of liberation-themed memorial runs, after Utah Beach-Stein (668 km), Bergen-Belsen-Stein (416 km) and Bastogne-Stein (170 km).

The running teams carried the liberation flame, connecting the memorial center to the South. The liberation flame was received in Wageningen.

The relay was carried out in collaboration with the Municipality of Stein and a poetry competition was organized for local students; the winner visited the Westerbork concentration camp.

Upon arrival in the Municipality of Stein, the relay runners and students were accompanied by WW2 military vehicles (Spearhead, 2AD, Supersixth and Rene Driessen and friends) and the last 700 meters musically by the Coriovallum Pipe Band.

There was also a commemoration held for the veterans. The commemoration ended with a performance by the band ‘WansAgaen’.
