Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

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.

Freedom Run 2018

ASML Marathon Eindhoven

The ASML Marathon Eindhoven takes place over two days on the second weekend of October. It stands as North Brabant's largest two-day sports event, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, City Run, Kids Run, Urban Walk, and Your Marathon Challenge. The half marathon attracts the most runners, and the main race accommodates up to 15,000 participants. The course is flat and wide, facilitating fast times, with a finish in the city center. Supporters line the route, and the event welcomes club runners, charity participants, families, and newcomers. A local tradition involves a connection with KWF's Run Against Cancer, allowing participants to fundraise for guaranteed entry spots when standard registration closes.

Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun

The Dordtse Biesbosch Trailrun begins and ends at the organizer's grounds on Schenkeldijk in Dordrecht, South Holland. This trail race crosses the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, offering distance options from short Family Runs to a half marathon. Participants can select 3 km or 5 km Family Run courses, a standard 5 km, 10 km, 10 English Miles, or a 21.1 km half marathon, catering to children, novice runners, and those seeking a longer off-road challenge. The courses feature narrow paved paths, unpaved tracks, sandy stretches, and dikes, leading through the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch, the floodplains beside the Nieuwe Merwede, and the Elzenbos. The trail surface may present puddles, streams, branches, and tree trunks, making the race a test of adaptability to varied terrain rather than a pursuit of speed on a smooth road. The start-finish area provides baggage drop-off and changing facilities. The event maintains a relaxed outdoor atmosphere with campfires, marshmallow roasting for children post-race, and refreshments including coffee, tea, soft drinks, satay, and beer.

EnergyVision Dwars Door Hasselt

EnergyVision Dwars Door Hasselt is a city running event held in Hasselt, Limburg, offering race distances from a 1 km kids run to a 21.0975 km half marathon. It is known locally as Limburg’s coziest city run, yet it is also a significant event, with almost 14,000 runners participating in a recent edition, ranking it as the third largest running event in Flanders. The event features 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, the half marathon, the Persil Kids Run, and a handbike race. The half marathon is officially measured and World Athletics-certified, attracting approximately 3,000 runners since its introduction. The children’s run is untimed, while the 3 km through half marathon races utilize chips to record net time from start to finish. Participants receive a commemorative medal, aid stations along the route and at the finish, changing rooms and showers at PXL, bag storage, and results published online and via Het Belang van Limburg’s digital newspaper.

Van Cauter Halve Marathon Erpe-Mere

The Van Cauter Half Marathon Erpe-Mere takes place in October in Erpe-Mere, East Flanders, Belgium. The main 21.1 km race begins at the church in Aaigem. The event also features 3.5 km and 11.5 km runs, alongside youth races of 450 m for toddlers, 750 m for younger primary-school children, and 1000 m for older primary-school children. The shorter races and youth distances are based at Domain Steenberg. Half marathon runners use Aaigem as their race base and collect their numbers at the church. The event is a fixture on the local sports calendar, offering live timing, many children and recreational runners, and supporters along a route showcasing the greener parts of Erpe-Mere.

Trage Wegen Jogging

Trage Wegen Jogging is a running event held in October in Boutersem, located in Belgium’s Vlaams-Brabant province, starting at Sport’O’Droom. Participants can choose from 5 km, 10 km, 16 km, and 21 km distances. Time registration uses chips, and the event features a free-start format divided into two blocks. The course consists almost entirely of unpaved paths, featuring numerous single-track sections, making it more of a trail run than a road race. The route is marked, and aid stations are available along the way. Sport’O’Droom offers amenities such as changing rooms, showers, and luggage storage. Additionally, there are 400 m and 800 m kids' runs. Every child participating receives a medal. This marks the 12th edition of the race.

TREK Antwerp Marathon

The TREK Antwerp Marathon is an October running event in Antwerp, a Belgian port city on the Scheldt. Participants can select the full marathon, half marathon, or 10K, accommodating both long-distance runners and those seeking a shorter city race. The event draws a significant field for a Belgian city race, with approximately 20,000 runners participating across the three distances. This marks the sixth edition of the race. The route crosses the center of Antwerp, passing historic landmarks instead of skirting the city's periphery. Marathon participants are supported by pacers identified by colored target-time flags. The course features aid stations and distinct kilometer and time markers. All finishers are awarded a medal, and marathon entrants also receive an event T-shirt. Additionally, runners have the option to pay after completing the race to have their medal engraved with their name and finish time. Timing is managed via electronic chip with live results available online. The practical arrangements include changing tents and secure bag storage, but showers are not provided at the venue.

Linker Oevert Marathon Antwerpen

The Linker Oevert Marathon Antwerpen is a city road race in Antwerp, Belgium, held in mid-October. Participants can select 10 km, half marathon, or full marathon distances, accommodating both those advancing from shorter races and experienced marathoners. Each distance features a single-loop course: 10 km, 21.0975 km, or 42.195 km. The route crosses Antwerp, offering sights of the River Scheldt and city landmarks. Spectators can cheer runners, then explore Antwerp's attractions such as the zoo, the MAS museum, or the diamond district.

Vondelhof Trail

The Vondelhof Trail begins and ends at the Vondelhof in Haaltert, with Maspoe organizing the race from Vondelen 14. Participants can select from 12 km, 21 km, or 30 km routes, all designed as trail courses rather than road races. Over 70% of the course is off-road, making it a day for trail shoes, not fast, flat asphalt. The event takes place in autumn and is in its second edition. The route includes singletrack, unpaved forest paths, gravel roads, mud, and some climbing; organizers advise that good grip is important. It is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. The race is cup-free, requiring runners to bring their own cup for water at aid stations. Streets near the start will be closed to traffic, parking is restricted to surrounding streets, and arriving on foot or by bike is encouraged. Later in the day, Haaltert Loopt offers 4 km, 8 km, and 12 km options with the same setup.

Beemdenjogging begins and ends at Kapelstraat 1 in Zoersel, sending runners into the Zoerselbos for a recreational nature run. Online registration remains open until late October, offering lower prices for pre-registration and a higher fee for same-day sign-ups. The facilities are functional: parking and bicycle storage are available at the start, with additional parking nearby in Zoersel, along with free sports bag storage, changing rooms, and showers. The course consists mainly of unpaved roads, guiding participants through forest paths and quieter areas within and surrounding the Zoerselbos. The 14 km and 21 km routes feature aid stations, but participants must provide their own cup or bottle as disposable cups are not provided; reusable cups are available for purchase. All finishers receive a complimentary pancake post-race, and event photos will be published on the website, with participants able to inform photographers if they prefer not to be photographed.

Alphense Bergen Trail

The Alphense Bergen Trail begins in Alphen, North Brabant, leading runners into the Alphense Bergen, a woodland region situated between Alphen and Chaam. This trail race offers multiple distances, ranging from approximately 9 km to 24 km, allowing participants to select a brief off-road run or a more extended trail challenge. The course crosses the nature reserve surrounding the Het Zand fen, utilizing woodland paths, heathland, single tracks, and numerous small inclines. The terrain is noted as demanding and diverse, with a course that continually shifts. Experienced trail runners will find a concise yet vigorous race, while road runners new to trail running can opt for a shorter distance to still experience the woods and heath.

About Half Marathon races in Antwerp

Antwerp Training Notes

Antwerp hosts 38 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Rivierenhof gives locals easy green laps, and the 130-hectare park keeps base miles simple. Nachtegalen Park adds 90 hectares with Den Brandt, Vogelenzang, and Middelheim Park nearby for longer Z2. Founders Running Club meets weekly at Bar Stark on Saturdays at 9:45 AM CEST, and runners choose a pace or follow a pacer. The Antwerp Marathon gives the city its anchor event, and the course covers 42.195km. WALLS Linker Oevert Half Marathon, Urban Trail Antwerpen, Rivierenhofloop, Reuzenloop, and Antwerp Backyard Ultra keep the calendar busy.

Antwerp is a real cycling city, and locals use hundreds of kilometres of safe, comfortable cycle paths for commuting, intervals, and easy spins. Cycle streets show up pink on digital maps, and riders get priority while motor traffic stays at 30 km/hour. Cycle highways show up red, so longer base miles feel natural. Velo club ‘t zuid has A, B, and C tiers, and even the C group rides at least 60km with some stretches up to 40km/h. Antwerp Campine gives gravel riders 10 routes in the Antwerpse Kempen. The climbs are not really the Antwerp story, so locals chase pace, wind, crit legs, and gran fondo fitness instead.

Summer gives Antwerp warm riding and running days, and locals use the lighter evenings for Z2, intervals, and coffee after the run. The river Scheldt keeps the city feeling open, and Linkeroever works well when you want a flatter half-marathon rhythm. Belgian winter stays rainy, not snowy, and riders usually keep going with the right clothing. Winter averages around +6 degrees Celsius with drizzle, and locals watch for early-morning ice. Roads are too slippery to bike about 2 days a year, and snow usually lands for a week or two at most.
