Free running clinics for the Campus Community! Road to the marathon

Th 19 March 2026

This spring, we’re taking a sporting step together towards the Groningen Marathon, powered by Campus Groningen. Campus Groningen and the WEST Business Association have enlisted Trainen met de Top to offer free running clinics to everyone on and around the campus – from seasoned runners to enthusiastic beginners. Under the guidance of Dutch champions Nik Lemmink and Bram Buigel, you’ll have the chance to train specifically for the 10 km, half marathon or marathon on 31 May 2026. It’s a great way to get fit, meet new people and train together towards a goal.

What can you expect?

- Free running clinics on the Zernike Campus led by Dutch champions Nik Lemmink and Bram Buigel

- An online information session on ideal race preparation (date to follow)

- Optional weekly training schedules for the 10 km or half marathon

- Participation is possible both individually and as a team: simply offer the clinics to your staff as a health and vitality programme.

- You can take part in all running clinics or, for example, just one clinic.
