PT Semester XC Running Race Geel

While we can’t run together in person, we can run together virtually!

Challenge yourself and your friends in the beautiful surroundings of the Natuurrecreatiegebied Dekshoevevijver and the Kanaal Bocholt Herentals.  

The total length of the track is about 5.6 km. If running is not your thing, you can also walk.            (C) Kristof Donné

The race window is open between 25 April and 06 June. You can run anytime, how many times you want. Just choose when it is more suitable to you.
