Newsletter April 2020.

Many countries currently have special measures in place because of the Covid-19/Corona crisis. We hope that all of you will be able to come through this period in good health. But there is also a positive sign. Never before we have seen so many joggers and runners on our roads. We hope to see all these new runners at our running-events? We try to be ready with an offer that always offers a little more than the regular jogging.

In Belgium, events may not be organized until 19th of April. But an extension of this measure until 3 May is as good as a fact. Nevertheless, the VAL has already cancelled all races until 10 May. We will follow up these 2 sources. We have therefore decided that Pentecost will continue when the regulations allow it. The course changes slightly with our experience from last year. New this year is our new distance of 50km, ideal to take the step to ultra-running. Also the 6 hour and 1 hour of Aalter will remain on our calender. When the regulations allow it, we will organize this event as well.

Runners and certainly ultra-runners are mentally strong. So we have to stay in our room for a while, and keep the runs local around our house. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy many running events shortly after May 3. We keep looking forward to Pentecost Sunday, May 31st. Hopefully until then.
