Recurring Half Marathon races near Liège
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Semi-marathon de Dinant
The Semi-marathon de Dinant is a new half marathon scheduled for October in Dinant. The start and finish will be in the city center, alongside the Meuse River. Organizers anticipate over 1,000 participants for this inaugural road race, designed for a wide range of runners.
The course is planned to trace the Meuse between Hastière and Dinant, meaning participants will run alongside the river for most of the race, rather than through city streets. The precise route awaits final SPW approval for homologation. Maxime Laloux, also organizer of the Dinant trail, is heading this project with François Weynant and the Brasseur brothers, individuals well-known to local runners.
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.
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.
Trail de Gendron
Jogging et Trail de Bois-de-Breux
The Jogging et Trail de Bois-de-Breux is an October running event held in Liège, Belgium, near the Ardennes. Participants can choose from four routes: a 2 km Jeune route, a 5 km Moyen route, an 11 km Classique, and the 21 km Trail Denis Pigeon, which includes a 545-meter elevation gain. This variety allows children, short-distance runners, and trail runners to select a suitable course.
The routes primarily follow paths, small roads, and country lanes, largely avoiding traffic. Much of the running occurs on unpaved surfaces, giving the longer options a character closer to local trail running than a flat city race. The event also guides participants through less-traveled areas of Liège, with course information, results, and photos available on the organizer’s official channels.
47. Geilenkirchener Volkslauf und 34. Halbmarathon
The Geilenkirchener Volkslauf und Halbmarathon is a running event in Geilenkirchen-Gillrath, Germany, organized by DJK-Gillrath e. V. It combines a long-standing Volkslauf with a half marathon, offering options for both recreational runners and those seeking a full 21.1 km challenge. The event also features a 10 km run, 10 km walking and Nordic walking, a 4 km run, youth races of 0.8 km and 2.5 km, and a short Bambini race for the youngest participants.
All races conclude at Sportplatz Gillrath, with bib collection available at the competition office on the sports field prior to the start. The half marathon course is flat, making the longer distance straightforward rather than technically demanding. The 4 km course is wheelchair accessible, and the 2.5 km and 4 km races incorporate a competition for individuals with disabilities. The half marathon and 10 km run contribute to a five-year series ranking, and most running races also feed into the RAC ranking, providing local, regular runners with motivation to return beyond a single race day.
Semi-Marathon de la province de Liège
The Semi-Marathon de la province de Liège begins on Île Monsin, at the Esplanade Roi Albert, and concludes near the new Coronmeuse eco-district. It is a flat, fast race day centered on the half marathon and 10 km, with a 5 km race, an 8 km walk, and a children’s race also scheduled. The start area is at the end of the tram line, allowing runners to reach it by tram at Coronmeuse, a small detail that recalls the old Liège marathon era.
The route traces parts of Liège’s industrial and riverside landscape: the banks of the Meuse, the canal, Coronmeuse and its track, the Chertal redevelopment site, and the company roads of Île Monsin, including road number 12. A section of the half marathon follows the path of Liège’s historic marathon; the city hosted one of the world’s earliest marathons, and this event revives that old course. The post-race village is located on the island, near passing boats, making the finish area feel connected to the river and port as much as to the race itself.
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.
Semi de la Province de Liège
The Semi de la Province de Liège begins on Île Monsin, at the Esplanade Roi Albert near the Coronmeuse tram stop, the terminus of Liège’s tram line. This October road race centers on a half marathon, also offering 10 km and 5 km races, plus children’s events and a walking tour on the same day. The routes are flat and quick, with all finishes located close to the new Coronmeuse eco-district.
The race draws from Liège’s marathon heritage; the city was the sixth globally to host a marathon, and a section of the current route retraces that original path. For the half marathon and 10 km events, the course order has been altered: the final three kilometers of the previous route now form the beginning, and the initial three kilometers are now at the end. Approximately 6,000 runners are anticipated, with the post-race area situated near the parade boats.
Marathon Kasterlee
Marathon Kasterlee is a running event in Kasterlee, Belgium. Both the marathon and half marathon begin at 10:00 AM in mid-November. The race uses a 21 km loop; marathon participants complete the loop twice, and half marathoners complete it once. This is not a fast, city-road race, as approximately 90 percent of the course runs through forest and field paths.
The route is suitable for runners who prefer soft ground, varied footing, and a rural setting that can become challenging after rain. The participant list frequently includes triathletes and duathletes using this event as a final preparation before the Hel van Kasterlee, the local winter duathlon. One sold-out edition attracted 300 marathon runners and 1,600 half marathon runners, contributing to the event's significant participation while maintaining its local identity.
Mescherbergloop
The Mescherbergloop is an annual running event in Eijsden, located in the southernmost part of Limburg, near the village of Mesch. Its routes traverse the Savelsbos and the rolling countryside surrounding Eijsden, offering race options from a Kidsrun up to a half marathon. The Maasrunners organize the event, which has been a fixture on the local running calendar for over 30 years.
The course presents a varied terrain, not a flat road run: it incorporates hills, meadows, climbs, descents, and a well-known staircase path near Eijsden and Mesch. The primary 10 km race attracts more seasoned runners, while the 5 km provides a shorter option for those new to the event. A 16 km route extends through the Savelsbos and the hills around Eijsden and Mesch, and participants include both local and regional runners.

About Half Marathon races in Liège
Liège Training Notes
Liège hosts 26 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals keep easy runs in Parc de la Boverie, Parc Saint-Léonard, and the tight streets around the centre. Parc de la Boverie gives you a clean loop feel when you want Z2 without thinking too much. La Corrida des Remparts uses city streets around Parc Saint-Léonard, Place des déportés, and Rue des Glacis, so runners know those corners well. Les Baroudeurs Liégeois bring the trail mood, with Sarti-Trail, Trail Liège Métropole, Trail d'Esneux, and Trail La Fontinoise close in the calendar. Les 24H jogging de Liège, Batirun Liège, the Semi-Marathon de la Province de Liège, and Beer Lovers' Marathon are the anchor checks.
Locals ride from the Meuse valley and choose the day from there. The Meuse gives you a relaxed outing, and the Ardennes give you the bigger effort. The loop is 5 km from Liège to Liège. La Redoute sits on the route, and the gradients don't lie as they slowly rise to 14%. The Ourthe Valley Loop and Liège-Esneux-Liège pull riders south, while NL09 - Liège to Maastricht points north. Lüttich - Momignies runs 169 km and climbs 1,398 m, so it works for a hard gran fondo day.
July and August are the best months, and most people ride then. Summer stays moderated by maritime air, so base miles feel steady rather than cooked. Locals use the warm stretch for long Z2, Ardennes climbs, and race legs before Liège-Bastogne-Liège stories come back into every cafe ride. Winter stays mild for this latitude and inland position, so runners still keep Parc de la Boverie and Parc Saint-Léonard in the rotation. The colder months shift the mood toward intervals, cyclocross grit, shorter loops, and trail days where the Ourthe and Ardennes feel more honest than fast.
