Semi-Marathon d'Estaimpuis

The Semi-Marathon d'Estaimpuis begins at Place de Bourgogne in Estaimbourg, Hainaut province, Belgium, sending over a thousand runners and walkers into the Estaimpuis countryside. This road event, situated in the heart of Wallonia, features a half marathon, a 10 km run, and a 10 km walk, accommodating both competitive racers and those completing the shorter distance on foot. The event is typically scheduled for late August. The half marathon covers the full 21.0975 km, while the 10 km option follows a different path. The start proceeds from Place de Bourgogne towards Rue Clovis Poullet, utilizing local streets and rural roads surrounding Estaimpuis instead of a closed urban circuit. Traffic is not entirely blocked, requiring participants to observe race direction with marshals providing guidance. Local parking and stopping restrictions on race morning indicate the town's significant involvement in accommodating the course.
