Are you ready for the Rivierenland Run & Walk? The varied landscape of the Rupel region is sure to impress. And with the Runners' lab tips, you'll be well prepared at the starting line, so you can enjoy every moment to the fullest.
Hybrid running shoes
The Rivierenland Run & Walk is 60% off-road. The course runs along forest paths and gravel roads, where hybrid running shoes make it easier. These are shoes that resemble trail shoes, but are still comfortable enough to run on asphalt.
Which shoes are best for you depends on your running style and preferences. Feel free to visit one of our Runners' lab stores. After a personal foot analysis, our advisors know which pair of shoes is best for you.
Hydration systems
First of all: Rivierenland Run & Walk is a cupless event. This means there will be no plastic cups at the aid stations, so be sure to bring your own soft cup or flask.
For those who want to bring there own drinks, there are various hydration systems. The most common are soft flasks or running backpacks. The advantage of backpacks is that they offer space for other essentials, such as energy bars, gels, a jacket...
Breathable clothing, adapated to the weather
In April, the weather can do anything. It might be cold, with wind and rain. Or, it might be sunny and bright. In any case: be prepared. The best advice we can give: dress up in layers. Start with a baselayer, add a t-shirt on top, and finish with a (waterproof) rain jacket or vest.
Sports nutrition
8 kilometers may be manageable without extra energy along the way - although an aid station will provide you with drinks and snacks. For the 14 and 23 kilometers, it's an added value to bring some energy with you. An energy bar, gel, or sports drink can give your legs that extra boost.
