Nienke Brinkman

 "It's never too late to discover your passion—and totally crush it!"

Nienke Brinkman’s journey from field hockey player to breaking records in marathons and trail running is nothing short of inspiring.  From starting running as a hobby during her PhD to setting a Dutch marathon record and winning major titles, she’s shown us what determination and opportunity can achieve.

Let’s keep pushing for gender equality in sports so every woman has the chance to shine like Nienke!
