NSK: University Competition

Each university sends a team with their city's best runners. This makes the University Competition (UC) also a challenge for the most avid runners.

For several years now, the University Competition of the Batavierenrace has received the status of a Dutch Student Championship. This ensures high prestige in Dutch student sports.

Every year several NSKs are organized in over 50 sports. This is done under the auspices of Student Sport Netherlands (SSN). The SSN is a national organization that serves as an umbrella for local sports councils. Click here for more information about the SSN.

As with any serious competition, there are strict rules governing participation in the Topicus University Competition. The rules are based on the following objective of the Topicus University Competition: to create a healthy rivalry among universities to promote the honor and prestige of winning the Topicus University Competition.The rules are outlined in the entry and competition rules.

Team captain for the University Competition

The team leader of a university competition team (UC team) takes care of the registration of a UC team and is also responsible for a number of other matters. For example, the UC team leader arranges transportation, food, and sleeping if necessary. The team leader can order vouchers for the entire team. More information about this will follow later.
In addition, a UC team leader will also ensure that the proofs of registration for all runners are delivered on time to the Organization Committee.

Registration of a team is possible as of November 9th, 2026. More information regarding registrations can be found here.
