Aat van ‘t Oor C 917

Aat passed away on 08/11/2024 at the age of 82. He was a member of the Rotterdam Walking Club (RWV) and qualified as Centurion 917 when he completed walking 100 miles in 23.08.40 at the London 100 miles in 1993.

The same year Aat qualified as Continental 247 (100 miles in 23:10:12) and made many trekking adventures in the northern parts of Europe. When walking with Aat, he would tell many stories about his job repairing antique trams.

Over time walking became more and more difficult for Aat,  and Dutch friends often met him at the winter race walks in Rotterdam, where he would encourage new race walkers. R.I.P.
