The Van Oers Marathon Brabant in its usual form has unfortunately been cancelled this year, but we have organized an alternative: the Van Oers Marathon Brabant Home Edition.
It's simple: you can participate by running your own course, anywhere in the world! The Marathon Brabant foundation and our main sponsor Van Oers have decided on this alternative to encourage people to keep moving, even in times of social distancing. We have prizes for the winners of the respective categories. All participants of the Van Oers Marathon Brabant 2020 automatically enter for a chance to win a Garmin watch. Participating in our home edition is free!
The competition starts on 10 October and ends on 25 October at 5pm (Amsterdam time, GMT+1). You may run your own course anywhere in the world, as long as you maintain one of the following set distances: 5 km run, 10 km run, 21.1 km half marathon, 42.2 km marathon, Family Run with your (grand)child (1 km) or Walk (15 km). The first four distances are competitive, meaning there will be prizes for the winners.
Please go to the online registration form and choose for one of the set distances. There is no registration fee. When you register you will be given the option to donate to the Harold van Zundert Foundation charity if you would like to do so, using the payment method Ideal. Registration closes on 24 October.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing the competition rules. You will also find these rules below.
Would you like to participate in the Family Run or the 15 km Walk? Please send proof of your participation in a way of your choice (for example a selfie) by e-mail. Please enter "Van Oers MB 2020 participation" as the subject of this email and please indicate whether or not you give us permission to share this information on our social media channels. Your e-mail of proof is your ticket for the chance to win a Garmin watch.
PLEASE NOTE: Always follow your country’s guidelines regarding COVID-19. Only participate if you are completely healthy. Stay indoors if you have symptoms of a cold, and avoid running in groups and on busy routes. The Van Oers Marathon Brabant is not liable for any violation of these guidelines.
