Sinterklaas (english: Saint Nicolas) has arrived, and – as it is a traditional Dutch holiday – we will also celebrate Sinterklaas with Parcival.
The Sinterklaas activity will take place on Wednesday 7 December in the evening. It will include Dutch Sinterklaas traditions like ‘pepernoten’, ‘bisschopswijn’ and ‘schoentje zetten’, and of course – as we are a running association – some running!
The activity will start at 19:00, at the Heuvel square in the City Center (in front of the main church).
Make sure to wear your running shoes, and by preference also your running outfit, including a reflective jacket or brightly colored (white/neon) shirt.
In order to participate, you will also have to bring a gift & a poem for a specific person.
A week in advance, we will let you know the name of this person + details about his/her hobbies, which might inspire you in your search for a nice gift!
Rules for the gift:
– You are allowed to spent a maximum of € 6,00 on your gift
– The gift should be wrapped, with the name of the person you’re giving it to clearly written on it
– The gift should be the size of a ‘schoencadeautje’, which means, it should fit in, or on top of a shoe. Of course, this is very arbitrary, but as a guideline, don’t choose a gift larger in size than a bottle of beer, a can of soup or a box of chocolates.
About the running part:
We will not tell you too much about it yet, but expect to run 5 to 7 kilometres.
Official part of activity will end around 22:30, after which we will go to the city center for some additional partying.
