Basecamp Run Brings Together 557 Participants
Last Sunday, 27 November, Club Brugge Foundation organised the Basecamp Run. During a unique experiential run around and across Club Brugge’s training complex, all participants had the unique opportunity to discover all zones of the Belfius Basecamp in Westkapelle.
Exceptional 1891 Meter Course
During a mapped out 1891-meter route, fans were able to discover some special places of the ultramodern training complex that are otherwise inaccessible on foot or on foot.
The route took participants past the A-team dressing room, the administration offices, the hotel rooms, the press room, the fitness hall, the coaches’ offices, the indoor hall and, of course, the various practice pitches.
In addition, a lot of entertainment was provided along the course. In the Board Room, the last 3 Champions Cups were displayed, in the indoor hall the running speed was measured, in the fitness hall a DJ was waiting for the runners, outside the slope had to be overcome.
“Impressed by the professional environment where our players train daily”
Between 11 am and 2 pm, no fewer than 557 Club fans and sympathisers stopped by to discover Club Brugge’s training complex,
“As a long-time supporter, I certainly did not want to miss this unique opportunity to come and visit our Club’s training complex. I am really impressed by the professional environment where our players can train daily. You feel that this wonderful training complex breathes football. This can only lead to even more sporting successes!”
58-year-old Club fan Luc from Zuienkerke
A separate comprehensive tour was also offered in an accessible manner for the less mobile fan and wheelchair user.
5,000 Euros for Club Brugge Foundation
All proceeds from the event benefited Club Brugge Foundation’s socio-sports projects. Head of Foundation Peter Gheysen looks back with satisfaction.
