EnergyVision Stadsloop Gent 2026

The EnergyVision Stadsloop Gent begins and ends at Sint-Pietersplein, transforming one of Ghent’s primary squares into the race hub for a May city run. Participants can select a 5 km or 10 km distance, and children have a dedicated 1 km Persil Kids Run, making the event suitable for families, recreational runners, and those seeking a brief road race in the city center. The course winds through Ghent’s historic center, featuring sections alongside the city’s canals and passing by old landmarks such as the Gravensteen. It also incorporates an unconventional crossing of the B401, integrating a piece of urban infrastructure into a route primarily focused on central Ghent. Registration areas, the finish line, sponsor booths, and associated activities are all situated at Sint-Pietersplein. The race is part of the EnergyVision Running Tour, organized by Golazo with support from partners like Trek Protein Bars and Persil. The event adheres to an Eco Charter designed to minimize the environmental footprint of the race and its attendees.
