Sports Quiz
🧠⚡ Who, oh who, is the festival's sports expert?
On Friday night at the Kriekepot Keep on Running Festival, we'll put your knowledge to the ultimate test!
We're hosting the ultimate sports quiz, where you'll compete in teams of up to 5 people. 💪
And it's all led by the enthusiastic quizmaster Joris Brys. 🎤🤩
Tip: Start paying extra close attention to sports news from now on, because there are some amazing prizes to be won! Think of autographed jerseys, several pairs of running shoes, a Suunto sports watch, a complete Anita sports set, as well as a brewery tour, a beer gift set, and so much more.
Are you ready to prove that you not only have strong legs but also a sharp mind? 😎
Foodbag Run & Walk
🥗 A delicious experience at and around De Schorre
Not your typical run, but a delicious experience at and around De Schorre. During the Foodbag Run & Walk, you’ll run or walk a 10-km course filled with surprising (and tasty) stops along the way. 😋
Don't expect your typical snacks—think fresh and flavorful bites: from fresh juices and yogurt with granola to mini pasta salads and other savory snacks. Everything to give you energy and put a smile on your face while you're on the go.🧃🍝
At the start, you’ll receive a stamp card, which you can exchange at the finish line for a well-stocked bag full of delicious Foodbag goodies. 🎁
In short: after the Foodbag Run & Walk, you'll go home with more than just kilometers under your belt.👟🤩
