History:
Since 1988, the Weerdse stratenloop has been a regular part of the annual KWB summer festival. In the very first years, when the summer festival's party tent was still located in Dorpsstraat, the race was run through the streets of Weerde and along the Zenne riverbanks, hence the name stratenloop. With the relocation of the party tent to the Chiro grounds on Galgenberg, the current course along the Weerdse fish pond was chosen. After 25 years, KWB Weerde is handing over the organization to the friendly club Sparta Vilvoorde.
