Spring 2017

As a catch up, below are a few fun events from this Spring from in and around Antwerp.

Ghent Urban Trail10k - Molly did a 10k race through the city of Ghent as a warm up for the Antwerp 10 mile race she ran later in the Spring.  She ran in Ghent with our friends Emily and Luke and finished on the famous Velodrome!

Tour of Flanders (Ronde van Vlanderen) - This annual professional bike race starts in a different location every year, but always ends in the same village.  This year the start was in Antwerp, so we watched the riders take off, then headed down to Oude Kwaremont.  The course has the riders pass this old town 3 times on cobblestone paths.  It was a great day for cycling and spectating.  We were able to get closer to the cyclists each time they past.  A Belgian pulled ahead in the final moments to win, so it was an exciting conclusion to a fun day.

Antwerp 10 miles - Molly ran the race with the Avery team this year.  She shaved a whole 4 minutes off our time from last year!  It was a tough race but she finished and might run again this year... ;)
