COVID-19 update

The recent press conference about the coronavirus made us feel positive towards the perspective that by the 20th of September we are able to let go of the one and a half meter restriction. However, we will remain realistic and will take different scenario’s into account.

Just like you we have a lot of questions, as of now these remain unanswered. Much stays unclear about possible restrictive regulations by the time of the marathon weekend on Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th of October 2021.

We will keep close track of the developments and remain positive to host a safe and festive edition of #demooiste. Safety is always our number one priority. Keep moving and take care!
