The Batavierenrace is a student relay race organized in the Netherlands each year in April. It is a 185 km race starting off at the Radboud University Nijmegen in Nijmegen and it takes the up to 8000 participants in 25 stages (17 men's stages and 8 women's stages) through Germany to the campus of the University of Twente in Enschede. It was listed in 2006, in the Guinness World Records as the relay race with the highest number of participants. 2010 will be the 38th edition of the race and it will be held on the 24th of April.

Although mainly a Benelux event, teams from all over the world participate. The start is at the midnight hour on a friday and ends late in the afternoon of saturday. All participants wear a slipover, which functions as the baton and also hosts a transponder that registers the stage times. The stages range between 3–12 km in length, over paved and unpaved terrain. Due to the large amount of participants the start is divided in six groups and there are three restarts along the way, in Dinxperlo, Barchem and in the city centre of Enschede. As much as it is sports event, it is a social happening, with the athletes and teams ranging from highly trained to those participating "just for the fun of it". Saturdaynight is host to one of the largest student parties in Europe with over 12000 visitors.
