Personal information

My name is Roxane Cleppe, and athletics has been a part of my life since 2011. From
the very beginning, I tried several disciplines before realizing that middle-distance running was
where I truly felt at home. I started modestly, participating in village races, regional cross-country
events, and a few track competitions, where I discovered my love for hard work and competition.
The early years were not always easy. I often finished near the back in Belgian championships
in the youth categories and at the CrossCup. But despite these tough results, I never gave up. I
knew that each experience, each race, was bringing me a little closer to my potential.
Starting in 2021, my hard work began to pay off. That year, I reached the national podium for the
first time, finishing second at the Belgian U23 championships in September—a milestone
moment for me. Since then, I have continued to improve, progressing year after year. My 10K
time went from 35:32 in 2021 to a solid 32:04 in 2024.
Today, I am proud of the journey I have traveled, and I continue to aim higher. This path has
taught me that nothing is impossible with perseverance and passion. My goal is to keep pushing
myself, to surpass my limits, and maybe inspire other athletes along the way.
