On the Dutch side of the border a bend has been added to the Vecht. This diversion was needed to ensure a better water drainage during periods of excessive rainfall. The Start and the Finish of the Vechtrace have not changed.

On the map of the race course the old trajectory is yellow. Until Google has included the  diversion of the Vecht in its maps, it will appear that part of the Vechtrace will take place overland.
