Semi-Marathon de Mons 2026

The Semi-Marathon de Mons begins on the Grand-Place in Mons, in front of the city hall, alongside 10 km and 5 km runs. It takes place in October and is organized by ASBL Semi-Marathon de Mons, which has staged the event since 2018. The day also features a 10 km walk, Joëlette starts, and short children’s races, functioning as a local running festival. The routes depart from the historic center, showing runners both central Mons and the surrounding countryside. The 5 km is open to participants aged 12 and up, the 10 km from age 15, and children aged 4 to 12 can run 500 m or 1 km circuits. Thousands of participants attend annually, assisted by hundreds of volunteers and pacemakers on the course. Profits benefit Télévie, and the event has already contributed tens of thousands of euros to FNRS since its inception.
