I am Willem Renders, 18 years old and live in Vlissegem. I am currently studying science-mathematics and next year I will start my bio-engineering studies.
I defend the colors of Excelsior Brussels in field running and at distances from 1500m to 5000m.
Because of my passion for nature and the mountains, I have a love for cross and trail. I started my career at AV Jabbeke and am still a youth coach there today.
With already some great international results on the track and in cross country, 2025 was working hard to participate in the EKU20. The result could not have been better with a gold medal!
