Hi! I’m Sander, part of the team behind Craft Beer Run.

For the past 6 years, Craft Beer Run has been bringing runners together through unique events that combine running, craft beer, and community. What started small has grown into a vibrant and inclusive community, with hundreds of runners joining our social runs and events in and outside Amsterdam.

Our goal is to make running accessible and fun for everyone. We organise weekly runs for a wide variety of paces and distances, making sure both beginners and experienced runners feel welcome. Whether you’re training for a marathon or just looking for a relaxed social run, there’s always a group to join. I love to see that we attract and connect both experienced ultra runners and runners that push themselves to finish the five km runs.

Beyond our own events, we also like to show up together at races and running events, creating a shared experience that goes beyond just training. It’s about exploring new routes, celebrating milestones, and building connections within the community.

My own running journey is very much at the heart of this. I can still clearly remember my early days of training, where a 2 km run would leave me completely exhausted. Since then, running has become a big part of my life, evolving into training for and running multiple marathons each year, across different distances, terrains, and paces. That personal progression is exactly what we want to reflect within Craft Beer Run: a space where everyone, regardless of starting point, can grow and enjoy the journey.
