Hi avid runners!

 

My name is Zhi, I am 22 years old and last year I looked after the volunteers. For this years lustrum edition I will be head of this years committee! I spend the most time on sports (and studying). When the weather is nice, I am always ready to play a game of tennis at Walhalla or do some jogging in the Uiterwaarden. Also, I am busy as a Biotechnology student at the WUR or in the evening I like to have a drink at the student association Franciscus. This year we will go big, because it’s an lustrum edition. So make sure you won’t miss this edition of the Veluweloop! I hope to see you all on October 8th!

Hello everybody!

My name is Femke, and this year I’ll be the secretary and Commissioner of Contest. I’m currently in my third year of the Bachelor Biology. I never participated in the Veluweloop myself, but it’s seems like a great event, especially given I like outside activities. Apart from that I like working out, especially gymnastics at WSTV Split, with the exception of this year as I have a knee injury. So, I have switched to fitness and running for now. Apart from that I like doing creative stuff. Painting, drawing and ceramics in particular, but I also like to experiment with other materials. I am looking forward to the Veluweloop this year and hope to see you all there!

Hello everyone,

 

During this Lustrum edition of the Veluweloop, I will be the treasurer of the event. We, the organization of the Veluweloop, will make sure that this edition will become an unforgettable one. Now it is time for some more information about myself; I love to ride around the beautiful nature of Gelderland on my road bike. Besides that, I go on a bikepacking holiday every year, discovering other countries. Besides the road bike I enjoy running, long distances in the neighbourhood of Wageningen. I'm currently, as a fifth year student, finishing of my master food technology, with only my internship left to go. Nevertheless, you can still often find me at student association Franciscus.

I'm completely ready to organize the 40th edition of the Veluweloop and I hope to see you all on the 8th of October!

Hi everbody!

 

My name is Mirthe and I am 22 years old, this year I will be involved in the publicity of the 40th Veluweloop! A lustrum year, so that should definitely be celebrated. At the moment I am in my 3rd year of my bachelor nutrition and health. You can also find me weekly in the Wageningen woods for a run and you can find me for a drink at the Franciscus student association. Last year I participated in the Veluweloop for the first time and that made me so enthusiastic that I wanted to organize it this year to convey this same enthusiastic feeling to others. The people, the environment and especially the cozy atmosphere that this run entails attracted me very much. For these reasons, I hope to see you all on October 8 for another beautiful lustrum edition of the Veluweloop. Until then!!

 

Regards Mirthe

Hello everyone!

 

My name is Joran de Bie and I am doing a master's degree in climate studies at Wageningen University. Furthermore, I am an active runner at the Tartlétos student athletics association.

I already participated in the Veluweloop in 2018 on behalf of Tartlétos and in 2019 I was a competition cyclist for the organization.

Last year I held the position of commissioner competition in the organization. With that experience, I will be entering my second committee year as the commissioner of sponsorships and volunteers.

I hope we can organize a great event in our 8th lustrum year!

 

See you on October 8th!
