Our Virtual 6 hours of Aalter yielded €320 for vzw Aalternatief. THANKS! The first edition of the 6 hours of Aalter ON track was already done. The pictures show that it was safe and fun. The results show that, despite the heat, it went well. The 2nd edition will also be Corona-proof. If you were still in doubt, sign up quickly. Until Thursday evening you can sign-in for the 2nd edition on Sunday, August 9th 2020.
During these warm days, Running Center will give you the information you need to choose a running harness and explain the advantages of the Hoka one one carbon x (in Dutch). During the marathon and ultra-running we noticed the arrival of Inge Weckhuysen. We did a nice interview with her that reflects her running passion (Dutch language).
In the meantime, many Belgians have already run a marathon or ultra-running abroad. Our last message with an archive of what happened earlier is online. You can see also an overview of what is still to come. What are your international plans? Send them to us and we'll put you in the list as well.
Our plans are on hold for the time being. The turnout for the 6 o'clock ON track shows that the scare is large. How we will organize our Sinterklaastrail (Dec 2020) and Forresttrailss Aalter (Jan 2021) under these circumstances is not clear yet. But, the board of Marathon and More Belgium is full of splendid ideas to put new races on the calendar next year. We will tell more about that next month.
Stick to the rules, keep it safe, healthy, and keep training and competitions running.
Sporty greetings from
Veronique, Pauwel, Filip, Andy, Heidi & Joeri.
