The commune/ town Uccle has had its running event crowned with its name, Uccle 10 K, and in my memory, it's inaugural competition was held in the early summer in 2008. The entire course was 10 kilometer, having mix of up and down hills. So, it was really quite tough one. One of its uniqueness was we started from a horse race track at the very beginning of the race. We have to finish the entire horse truck before going into bois de la cambre/ Cambre forest park, then passed through la observatoire/ observatory, and jumped in Saint Job square, then went up to Fort Jaco, and finally came back to Cambre park and crossed the finish line at the horse race track, welcome back. Each time I participated in, a local TV camera took a shot of the start-dash of most competitive runners who eagerly occupied the front line of the entire participants. After on your mark, getting set, then go-signal echoed, several high school student-runners always got pretty good start-dashes. In a particular year, I found one of those "dash men" even did not wear a running shirt and pant, but put a casual T shirt and jeans on, with a pair of Converse sneakers. And as everyone can easily expect, these dash men slowly lost their propulsion power, like after launching of a space-shuttle putting into orbit, then they were among the mass stream.
Here was in Uccle. The mascot of this event was a blue running man, quite simple.
