Overview

Early bird run

The idea came up to run every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (in July and August only)with the camping guests. 

We first did this at 7:00 a.m., but then it wasn't that busy and there were about 6 of us. From now on, we leave at 9:00 a.m., which has made it a lot more popular. Sometimes there are as many as 30 people.

We usually run between 5 and 8 km and have an eye for beginners, we always pick them up if they fall behind. So even if you are just starting to run. Be sure to join us!

Meet Yanneke

Our Early Bird Run is now led by Yanneke. You may already know her from the campsite, as she’s been working here for several years. She’s originally from Spain, but she now knows the Bertrix area like the back of her hand. And believe us: she’s absolutely passionate about running.

New for 2026: running for Duchenne

This year, the Early Bird Run will have an extra special touch. For every participant in the Early Bird Run, we will donate €1 to the charity behind the Duchenne Heroes initiative. So not only will you start the day on a sporty note, but together you’ll also be doing your bit for an important cause. Every step counts.

Ready for more trail adventure?

Want another sporting challenge after the summer? In September, Bertrix will host the Trail des Fées – a beautiful trail running event through the forests and hills of the Ardennes.

Ardennes Camping Bertrix is a proud sponsor of this event. Many participants combine the trail with a stay at our campsite. So who knows... will I see you at the start line?
