NEW: Orienteering EGG HUNT

Come to the forests of Willebroek on Easter Monday for an exciting Orienteering EGG HUNT! An orienteering run of 1 km, where you will explore using a simple map.

Kids ages 6-8 will search for Easter eggs with their parents, while slightly older adventurers ages 8-12 can take on the challenge on their own (parents are welcome to help if they want). Bring your own basket and collect eggs at the various checkpoints to win a cool medal! Don't worry if it takes you a little longer to find a checkpoint, there are plenty of eggs for all participants!

After the scavenger hunt, there is plenty of fun with bouncy castles and a fun supporters' village where everyone can chat and enjoy a fun family day. Afterwards you can also have your picture taken with our Keep on Running mascot Fina. A perfect outing for the whole family!
