Het idee ontstond in 1979, het jaar waarin de Verenigde Naties het Internationale Jaar van het Kind uitriepen, toen Marcel van Henneigen, gymleraar aan het Peter Stuyvesant College (PSC), op het idee kwam om een \u200b\u200bhardlooprondje door het Schottegat te houden. Deze loop, genaamd de Schottegatloop, was bedoeld voor studenten maar stond ook open voor andere deelnemers. Een student van het Peter Stuyvesant College ontwierp voor de gelegenheid een logo, waarvan stickers werden gemaakt.<\/p>

Voor de allereerste Schottegatloop stonden op zondag 17 juni 1979 vroeg in de ochtend ruim 500 deelnemers aan de start \u2013 mannen, vrouwen, jong en oud \u2013 die vooraf een gezondheidsverklaring van hun arts hadden gekregen. Bij de finish was Anthony Owers de eerste man die overstak in een tijd van 1:01:15. Nel Geerings was de eerste vrouw die finishte.<\/p>

Na het succes van 1979 werd besloten de race jaarlijks te houden. In 1980 en 1981 werd de Schottegatloop opnieuw georganiseerd door Marcel van Henneigen met een kleine groep enthousiastelingen, waaronder Henri Lauffer, Robby Griffith, Mike Snijder, Norbert Hendrikse, Orlando Cuales en Ronald Claes.<\/p>

Op 24 september 1981 werd bij de notaris officieel de Road Runners Club K\u00f2rsou opgericht. Het eerste bestuur bestond uit Marcel van Henneigen (voorzitter), Mike Snijder (vice-voorzitter), Henri Lauffer (secretaris), Norbert Hendrikse (commissaris) en Robby Griffith (penningmeester).<\/p>

In het eerste jaar sloten zich ruim honderd leden aan en kwamen er nog meer hardloopevenementen bij. De tien kilometer lange Coca-Cola Run, de oudste race (sinds 1982), is altijd een populaire afstand geweest. In 2003 werd de naam veranderd in Kareda Cerilio Maduro.<\/p>

In 1984 werd de Xerox-race toegevoegd. De kortste race, de Klipkleun (vijf kilometer), werd voor het eerst verreden in 1985. In 1988 werden de Fatum Run en Citco Run ge\u00efntroduceerd. De eerste halve marathon (21 kilometer) vond plaats op 19 december 1982 en de eerste marathon van Cura\u00e7ao werd gehouden op 13 december 1998. De Breakfast Run werd in 1987 aan de racekalender toegevoegd.<\/p>

In 1987 begonnen de clubtrainingen. Hans en Ria Jongkind waren de eerste trainers voor RRCK. Ze hielden drie keer per week trainingssessies voor sprints, hindernissen en hardlopen op de middellange en lange afstand in het Suffisant Stadium. In 1989 begon de langeafstandstraining rond Sentro Deportivo K\u00f2rsou (SDK) en op de Koredor.<\/p>

In de veertig jaar heeft de club acht voorzitters gehad: Marcel van Henneigen (1981-1984), Mike Snijder (1984-1996), Ronald Lieuw-Sjong (1996-1998), Stanley Marks (1998-2001), Harold Westerhof (2001-2003), Erwin Calmes (2003-2011), Marilyn Alcal\u00e1-Wall\u00e9 (2012-2014) en Gersji Rodrigues Pereira (2014-2018). Door de pandemie werd er in 2019 geen nieuwe president gekozen en werden er geen grootschalige hardloopevenementen georganiseerd.<\/p>

The “Roadrunners” have become a tradition in Cura\u00e7ao over the years. Performance has never been the main focus; it\u2019s mostly about the camaraderie, along with a beer and soup afterward. Togetherness is the motto, and for forty years, runners and walkers alike have eagerly looked forward to the next event.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
