🔥 Come and kick off 10 MILES WEEK in style with us

🐎 Tuesday 21/04 we’re opening the Garmin Running Hub (.recup , Hopland 21) with The ANTWERP 1 MILE race. Definitely shorter than its bigger brother, but also crazier and chaotic. Just how we like racing.
(link in bio for the very very last 2 or 3 spots)

🎉 If you don’t run, you cheer. It’s the only rule a running crew has. So at 19pm come and set 🔥 to the track

🍻 After the race hang around for some “let’s get this raceweek going” drinks

We’re soooooo excited. See you

Ps: you can also try the treadmill challenge in the running hub

They say life is like a box of chocolates 🍫 … you never know what you’re gonna get.
But with ARC, you always know what’s coming: 4 runs, good vibes, a boombox bringing the heat (don’t be surprised if you drop a dance 🕺🏻 or two), and plenty of kilometres to burn! 😎

Whether you’re in for an easy cruise, an early grind, a faster effort, or some longer steady miles, it’s all there, all week long.

Show up & lace up! 👋
