Night-Marathon Spa-Francorchamps

Night-Marathon Spa-Francorchamps allows runners to use the asphalt of the Spa-Francorchamps motor-racing circuit in Stavelot, Belgium, after dark. The event takes place in October on the famous circuit between Stavelot and Spa-Francorchamps, offering solo distances from a single 7 km lap to 14 km, half marathon, and full marathon. Relay options include 14 km for duos, 21 km for trios, and 42 km for duos, suitable for first-timers, club runners, and groups sharing the distance. The course utilizes the circuit itself, providing a straightforward appeal: participants run on the same asphalt typically used by cars and bikes, with pit boxes, racing lines, and the Ardennes air surrounding them instead of a typical road loop. Race numbers and pre-ordered shirts are collected at the registration desk on the circuit, food trucks are located behind the Formula 1 pit boxes, and spectators require advance visitor tickets. The location defines the race's primary characteristic: a night run on a motorsport landmark, distinct from a city-street race.
