Den Halve van Geshaa

Den Halve van Geshaa is a half marathon held in Grasheide, a hamlet of Putte in Antwerp province, Belgium, on the first Saturday of October. The main race covers 21.1 km. Runners can also complete the distance as a relay team of two or three. Additionally, a 7 km race follows the same route for those preferring a single lap. The start and finish are located at the SV Grasheide football club on Galeistraat. The half marathon consists of three laps of 7.033 km each. Approximately half of the course is unpaved, combining quiet paved roads with field and forest paths. The route is closed to traffic, with marshals and kilometer markers provided. Water stations are available on each lap, along with a supply point at 3.5 km. Geshaalopers organize the event, making it accessible for local runners and relay teams, and supporting a different charitable cause annually.
