I am a 25-year-old long-distance runner and a member of the Runners' Lab Athletics Team. For me, running is not only a sport but also a passion and especially a lifestyle. I will always do everything to push my limits and make all my dreams come true! My ultimate goal is to participate in the Olympic Games at the marathon. In addition to my athlete career, I also have a master's degree in "Business Engineering" in 2021.

Triathlon
I am a passionate triathlete with the SMO-Scott team. I race triathlon in the short distance and spend most of the year in Girona (Spain) to develop myself as an athlete and prepare for competitions. Besides triathlon, I am also studying Accounting-Taxation at Hogent.

I am Dries Matthys or 'Matitser' aka 'The Cathedral of Wezemaal' and I extremely enjoy doing sports. I've been doing triathlon for 15 years and I hope to add at least another 15 years to that. And if it's up to me, like to race for another 15 years as a pro against the best triathletes in the world on the biggest stage in our sport: Ironman. Tip of the day: Life is more than just sport, don't forget to laugh with your mates and do something crazy once in a while :)

I am the type of athlete who thrives on training, embracing even the toughest physical sessions with a positive mindset. I see every challenge as an investment in my future success, knowing that each effort brings me closer to my goals. Beyond my individual training, I have a deep passion for collective sports, where teamwork and shared experiences create unforgettable moments. Whether pushing my limits solo or connecting with others in a team setting, I find joy and purpose in every aspect of my athletic journey.
