I am Simon Debognies, 28 years old and born and raised in Halle. I recently started working as an accountant (80%) and daddy of our little son Dré. In addition, I am a very driven distance runner who has been bitten by the running bug for a long time.
After wearing out many spikes on the track and with Belgian and European medals in my pocket, I now run mainly in carbon shoes on the road. All distances from 10km to half marathon are right up my alley. Now I am working with a lot of passion and ambition towards my next goals, including the European Championships running in my own country!
