Or rather: who is Stefaan Engels?
For a start, he's a 49-year-old from Ghent who enjoys life and is fanatic about sports. Eager to spread his message. And because of that, he is restless, always on the lookout for new ideas and campaigns that get people moving. This former creator in design of exhibitions went on to become a coach and sports profesional behind a number of major sports activity promotions in Belgium.
But Stefaan wanted more. That is why he is putting his own body to the test. Setting records, getting media attention and being an inspiration and motivation to other people. The first time was in 2008, when he completed 20 long-distance triathlons and made the Guinness Book of Records. And in 2010 by running a marathon every day.

Obviously, Stefaan didn't just achieve this overnight. For years, Stefaan has been a very driven practitioner of endurance sports. He's been running marathons for twenty years, and triathlons for ten years.
Belgian projects include: "The Move" exhibition, "Fitmobile of Partena-fund", Ironmanagers" "Move@work", "3together" and "Factor 100".
In May 2011, Stefaan Engels has been given the award in recognition of his contribution to the sports in Ghent. He may now proudly call himself sports embassador of the city of Ghent.
