Describe your best marathon memory.

The feeling of starting “slow”and knowing that you will pass many of these runners in the end of the race still feeling strong and running

Why do you pace?

I pace because I love to share my passion for running. It is great to motivate runners on their journey to the finish line

Tell us your best pacing experience.

At the finish line so many happy faces of thankful runners,  It makes me smile for a week

Why should someone run in your pace group?

If you are going to run in my pace group, you will have a Dutch Pacer who can speak English, German and Dutch and will be your “tour guide”for 26.2 miles at a steady pace. It will be a marathon experience you will never forget.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Stay with me so you don”t start to fast. “Enjoy the journey, not only the destination”
