Marathon enthousiast & Event Organiser since 2006.
Marathon Runner
Since 2005, I have been a marathon runner, participating in numerous races and challenging myself both physically and mentally. Running has become an integral part of my life, pushing me to new limits and allowing me to experience the thrill of crossing the finish line.
Marathon running is not just a hobby for me, but a way of life that has shaped my character and provided me with countless opportunities for growth and self-discovery. The dedication and perseverance required to train for and complete marathons have taught me invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, and the power of setting and achieving goals. Beyond the physical challenges, marathon running also fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among runners, as we support and motivate each other throughout the arduous journey. The thrill of crossing the finish line after hours of exertion is indescribable, and it is a feeling that drives me to continue pushing my limits and embracing the incredible journey of marathon running.
Race Organiser
In 2006, my love for organizing music festivals and marathon running came together as I took on a new role as a race organizer. Combining my passion for running with my organizational skills, I create low impact sustainable running events from the ground up. These events have attracted thousands of participants who have enjoyed the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and the unforgettable experience of crossing the finish line.
WALLS Linker Oevert Half Marathon is an internationally recognized event organised in proud co-operation with Keep On Running. It holds the prestigious certification from AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Racers). This certification not only highlights the excellence of our event but also promotes it on a global scale, giving international runners the opportunity to participate and experience the unique atmosphere we offer.
Nieuwjaarsrun, our highly anticipated start-of-the-year event, marks the beginning of the running calendar with a thrilling 5k and 10k race. Taking place on the first Sunday of the new year, it sets the tone for a year filled with health, fitness, and accomplishment.
