DEME celebrates milestone anniversary
This year’s Baloise Antwerp 10 Miles was extra special.
Not only did Antwerp host the 40th edition of Flanders’ biggest running event, but DEME colleagues were also running in a year in which our company is celebrating a milestone anniversary of its own. With nearly 400 colleagues and their family members proudly taking part in the race, Antwerp once again turned into a sea of DEME green.
What made this edition particularly symbolic was the route itself. It covered the riverbanks of the Scheldt, went across a section of the Oosterweel works, and passed through iconic tunnels as well as the vibrant city center. This meant that those running quite literally passed through places where DEME has helped shape and continues to shape Antwerp’s future. It proved to be a fitting backdrop in a year in which we are reflecting on our rich heritage while looking ahead.
As was the case in previous years, participation went beyond sport alone. This is because with every kilometer covered, DEME’s runners once again supported the charities Mercy Ships and Kom op tegen Kanker. Therefore, every step taken during this celebratory edition truly made a difference.
