# All fifteen Elfstedentochts and their winners (1909–1997)

From Minne Hoekstra in 1909 to Henk Angenent in 1997: the winners of all fifteen Elfstedentochts, the almost 200-kilometre skating race past the eleven Frisian cities that only goes ahead when the ice is strong enough everywhere. In 1940 five skaters crossed the line together; in 1956 nobody was declared the winner.
