ABOUT US
Eef Kamerbeek Athletics Centre
The name “Eef Kamerbeek Athletics Center” is taken from the decathlete Eef Kamerbeek, who passed away in 2008.
Who was Eef Kamerbeek?
Eef Kamerbeek (Eindhoven, 17 March 1934 – 26 August 2008) was a Dutch athlete. He became famous as a successful decathlete. He was an eleven times champion in this event; in addition, he also excelled in the throwing events and the hurdles. He participated in the Olympic Games twice.
TRAINING
Eindhoven Atletiek strives towards Sports for a Lifetime and therefore offers training for all age groups at various levels, from recreational to top-class sports. Starting from the age of 6, children can join as a pupil and then continue up to junior level as they turn 12. In the junior level, they can participate in diverse disciplines, namely sprinting, jumping, throwing and running events. Pupils and juniors participate in team competitions as well as track and field events in the summer. During winter they can compete indoors and in cross country runs.
Eindhoven Atletiek offers specialization training from the juniors B age and up. The specialization training includes all types of sprints, jumping, throwing, and running disciplines in athletics. Juniors, seniors, and masters regularly train together in these groups. In this way, the young people learn not only from the trainer but also from fellow athletes. Athletes from all these age groups participate in individual competitions as well as club competitions and team relay races.
In addition to competitive athletics, Eindhoven Atletiek has a wide range of training for recreational runners at many levels. This is offered daily. These include start-up programs like Start to Finish, regular training groups, and groups focused on the most important road event in Eindhoven: the marathon (and 10 km and half marathon) on the second Tuesday of October.
Eindhoven Atletiek also offers a wide variety of walking training groups. It goes without saying that in these groups the average age is the highest.
And last-but-not-least, Eindhoven Atletiek offers various training courses for people with disabilities, such as for mentally disabled athletes and prosthetic runners.

TRAINING GROUPS
Competitive Athletics
Competitive athletics encompasses all athletics disciplines. This includes events on the track, events on the road, jumping and throwing disciplines and the decathlon/heptathlon. Running events such as sprinting short, middle and long distances such as the marathon are well known. The hurdles, relay and steeple chase are also part of it. The 4 jumping events: the long jump, high jump, pole vault and the triple jump are part of all championships. The shot put and hammer throw, discus and javelin throw complete the sport of athletics. Are you curious about competitive athletics at our club and do you want to know more about it please contact Ad Peeters .
Sprint
The sprint is a popular part of athletics. Almost everyone in the world knows Usain Bolt and most Tv viewers are attracted to the 100-meter final at the Olympics. Sprinting seems very simple; just run as fast as possible from the start to the finish. However, there is a lot to it, including technique, strength, frequency, agility, and fitness. That is why Eindhoven Atletiek has two groups where you can sprint: as beginners and as advanced runners. Do you run fast and do you want to become even faster? Then come along because sprinting might be just the thing for you!
Middle Distance
Any athlete who would like to train competitively or recreationally for middle distances (800m-5000m) is welcome in our mila groups. In the winter, we mainly run cross country and in the summer the focus is on track races. In between, we catch the occasional road race.
Our youngest athletes are 13 years old and the oldest are masters, which means they are older than 35 years. We have several people from each age group and from each performance level, who you can join in training. The low threshold makes it easier for anyone to join. A competitive mentality and training discipline are very welcome, but above all the fun in the beautiful running sport is most important. We also organize training weekends, which in addition to training are also just fun.
Long distances
Running in our long-distance groups combines enjoyment and socializing with a professional approach, targeting distances from 5 km up to the marathon and beyond. Having fun while running is key to improving your performance. All trainers have a lot of experience as runners and trainers which they use to get the best out of the athletes. Targeted personal schedules are tailored to the level and wishes of the athlete. Training together, racing together is important and many athletes train at least four times a week.
Jumping and Throwing disciplines
Every discipline of the heptathlon or decathlon are practiced at Eindhoven Athletics. Experienced athletes and trainers, often with international sports experience, provide these trainings.
The jumping events (long jump, high jump, pole vault and triple jump) and the throwing events (shot put, hammer throw, discus and javelin throw) are on our program.
YOUTH
Fun in sports
You can’t learn it early enough. We enjoy playing sports together in different age groups, from mini pupils to A Juniors. Here all forms of athletics such as jumping, throwing, sprinting and running are practiced (in a playful manner). We encourage training together and participating in competitions together. In the summer children can compete in track events, in the winter in indoor competitions and cross-country races. Come and join Eindhoven Atletiek, it’s great fun!
Everyone can do it
We have a thriving youth department. A large group of youth trainers and helping parents provide many weekly training sessions that take place on our athletics track. The pupils get an all-round training; all disciplines of athletics are practiced in a way appropriate for their age. By getting acquainted with all the disciplines of athletics you can discover your talent. From the juniors (12 years and up) you can specialize. Of course, training for the decathlon/heptathlon is also possible.
Give it a try!
Children can join Eindhoven Atletiek from the age of about 6 in a group called mini pupils (see table “Division of categories” at the bottom of the page). At Eindhoven Atletiek, children can join at any age and participate immediately, throughout the year. Athletics is a very versatile sport, so we want to give you ample opportunity to see if it’s something for you and which disciplines suit you best or appeal to you.
Lately we have received many new registrations, especially for the pupils group. We’re almost reaching the limits of our capacity, both in terms of track occupation and in terms of trainers and assistants. We must therefore now work with a waiting list for new pupils (born in 2010-2014). For the juniors (born in 2002-2009) we still have room for new members. For more information, please contact Bieneke Bauling .

Registration/competitions
Throughout the year we organize several activities. Below are links to the corresponding registration forms.
PARA ATHLETICS
There are specific training groups at Eindhoven Atletiek for athletes with disabilities. Athletics is a very versatile sport, so we want to give you plenty of opportunity to see if it’s something for you and which sections suit you best or appeal to you. At Eindhoven Atletiek you can participate immediately, throughout the year. If you are interested in one of these training sessions, feel free to come and watch one!
Specific Disciplines
There are various athletes with disabilities at Eindhoven Atletiek who train in discipline-specific groups. For example, disciplines like long jump, shot put, discus or javelin throw. Also in the recreational running groups there are athletes with disabilities such as visual impairment.
Athletes with prosthesis
We offer training to runners with a prosthesis, under the supervision of physiotherapists. You shall work towards your personal goal in consultation with both trainers and in cooperation with your own prosthetist. This goal can range from improving your running technique on the daily prosthesis to improving your time on the sports prosthesis during a half marathon. This great diversity of individual goals determines the character of the training where the fun in moving with a prosthesis always comes first. On Tuesdays and Thursdays there is running training on the track. Training starts at 18:30 and lasts until 20:00.
Racerunners
Every Friday from 17:30 to 18:30 Eindhoven Atletiek organizes a training with Racerunners. The Race run training sessions are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults with a motoric (and mental) disability who use a wheelchair or a walking frame in their daily life. A racerunner looks like a tricycle but without pedals. A walking movement can be made with the legs while the racerunner carries the weight and provides balance. During the training sessions, in addition to various running exercises, other athletic elements such as vortex throwing and shot put are also offered.
We have one racerunner of each size in our possession at Eindhoven Atletiek. Most of the athletes have their own racerunner. We thank the Foppenfonds, the NSGK, and the old granddads with whose help we purchased the Racerunners at Eindhoven Atletiek.
More information
If you want to join in or have other questions, please contact para-atletiek@eindhovenatletiek.nl for more information.
RECREATIONAL RUNNING
The recreational running group is an important and big part of Eindhoven Atletiek. This group includes about half of the members of Eindhoven Atletiek
Training takes place every day of the week in many different groups for all the levels. There is always a group where you can join either as a beginner or an advanced runner. All training sessions are supervised by trained trainers to ensure proper training and prevent injuries. As such, much attention is also given to running technique, muscle strength and posture. Click here for training times.
Performance runners
We have “performance runners” at Eindhoven Atletiek. These are the enthusiastic runners who want “something” more than just recreational running. They are the motivated runners who want to improve their performance in a more challenging training program. Besides running, the atmosphere in the group is also very important.
You can get more information about this group via Bas Dirkson.
From start to finish
You can also enroll in the running course “From start to Finish”. It starts several times in a year. In this course, new and novice runners are trained for 6-8 weeks to run a certain distance. Write to start@eindhovenatletiek.nl for more information about this program.
Competitions and activities
Besides the races we organize ourselves, there are races organized in the region every week. These are races organized for runners on the road and through the woods.

RECREATIONAL WALKING
Walking
Eindhoven Atletiek wants to offer lifelong sports for everyone. Running puts a lot of strain on joints and muscles. Therefore, several members choose to practice one of the forms of walking. We have several forms of walking. Look here for training times.
| Walking | Sportive Walking | Endurance walking | Nordic walking |
| Distance | Approx.. 4 km | Approx. 7-8 km | Approx.. 4 km |
| Tempo | 3-5 km per hour | 5-6 km per hour | 3-4 km per hour |
For information on hiking, please contact Henri van Limpt. (tel 06 1380 0655)
Sportive Walking
Sportive walking is meant for people who like to exercise but also want to take it easy. These walking programs have a low-threshold structure. Therefore, almost everyone can participate in these programs. Limitations such as rheumatism, osteoporosis, diabetes, neck and back pain, etc. are not an obstacle but rather a good reason to participate. The aim of this walking activity is to maintain mobility, muscle strength, balance, and equilibrium. It also improves fitness. For information about sportive walking, you can look at this page or contact Thera van der List or Belinda van der Sluis.
Endurance walking
For people who like to exercise, but also would like to do something more than just walking there is the endurance walking. There is a short warming-up session with athletic exercises. After this, a long walk of 1,5 hour is made at a steady pace. Attention is paid to the walking technique, and we conclude with a short cooling-down. More info.
For endurance walks, please contact Joke van de Vossenberg.
Nordic Walking
Everyone, from young to old, can participate in Nordic Walking. The concept of Nordic Walking is simple and practical. The power of this concept lies in its simplicity. You just have to do it in the right way. Nordic Walking is more than walking with sticks!
On the one hand, the sticks evoke a resistance that you must overcome. You train your torso and your arms more. Legs are somewhat less taxed because the sticks provide extra support and stability. It is therefore a perfect workout for the whole body. Nordic walking puts your whole body to work while having fun with others in the open air. Motivation to do it is the most important aspect here. Mail to Ruth Cicilia or see this page for more information.
Wandelfit
KWBN has a program called “Wandelfit”. We start this program a few times per year. In this program, walkers who are beginners are trained in 12 weeks towards their own goal.
If you want more information about the program, please visit www.wandelfit.nl or contact Hans van Baarle (click here)
