Last weekend, the RUN Winschoten took place with an extra special touch: this year, the international running event celebrated its 50th anniversary. In keeping with tradition, the so-called "LutjeRUN"—of which Oldenburger|Fritom is the proud main sponsor and title sponsor—marked the official kick-off of the RUN weekend.
To mark this milestone anniversary, last Friday's kickoff featured extra festive celebrations. Our colleague Mats Dale had the honor of giving the starting signal for the “Oldenburger|Fritom LutjeRUN 2026” alongside Alderman Gert Engelkens (on the right in the photo).
The “LutjeRUN”, held at the AV Aquilo athletic track in the Dutch city of Winschoten, is designed for children and teenagers aged 4 to 15. The track provides a safe, clear, and motivating environment focused on introducing youth to running. The various age categories and distances are fully tailored to the participants' ages.
