It's almost that time again! 🥳
The race of all time stands finally back on the program: the Batavierenrace 💚🏃♀️🏃♂️
In the beautiful east of the country (and a piece of Germany) with a lot of fun, hey you there, an unforgettable party and of course a bit of running while being encouraged by your fellow ELS members on the tandem.
