Run club · SC VAT'33

Every Wednesday, we run from Tjaps.

SC VAT'33
Drawing: a group of runners with head torches along the water in Vathorst, on a Wednesday evening.

SC VAT'33 is the free run club of VAT'33, our own beer brand. Every Wednesday we run a loop of about five kilometres through Vathorst together, at a pace where you can still talk. A run captain leads, a sweeper runs at the back: nobody gets left behind. Walking a bit is fine.

How to join: become a member for free on the club's website and put your name on the list for each Wednesday, so we know how many runners to expect.

When
Every Wednesday, 7:30 pm
Start and finish
Tjaps, Leeghwater 5
Distance
±5 km, conversational pace (±7:00 per km)
Cost
Free, ages 16 and up

A cycling club is on its way too. About SC VAT'33

Our own beer brand · rock-solid beer from Amersfoort

The home of VAT'33.

VAT'33 started at our own tap. We were looking for a wheat beer that could stay on at Tjaps all summer. Ruud of Eembier didn't have one, but offered to brew it for us: 2,000 litres.

That became Keiwit, our first own beer. A whole line has followed since, from light to full. Out of love for our city, always pure and honest.
