Recurring Half Marathon races near Namur
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
La Course aux Flambeaux
La Course aux Flambeaux lets you run with fire, lighting up the night. Dash through the darkness, guided by torches, in a memorable evening that becomes a torch parade.
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.
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.
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.
Trail de Gendron
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.
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.
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.
Donkmeerloop De Mooiste Halve
Donkmeerloop De Mooiste Halve is a road race held at Festival Hall Donkmeer in Berlare, East Flanders. The start and finish are on Donklaan, adjacent to the lake. The race offers 6 km, 12 km, and half marathon distances, and is scheduled for autumn. Jente Samson, the Flanders Project Team, the municipality of Berlare, and the Province of East Flanders organize the event. It has been held for 11 consecutive editions, expanding from 450 participants in its first year to over 2,000, with fields now sold out.
The courses traverse the Donkmeer area, the old duck decoy, and Nieuwdonk. This ensures even the shorter distances offer the same lake-and-park environment as the half marathon. Half marathon participants can utilize seven pacers, identifiable by orange shirts, aiming for finish times between 1:20 and 2:10. Past editions featured the Belgian Championship, charity runs, and support for a children's heart fund. The race maintains practical amenities: aid stations on each lap, electronic timing, changing facilities and showers at the start/finish, medals for all finishers, a finisher drink, and trophies awarded.

About Half Marathon races in Namur
Namur Training Notes
Namur hosts 29 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 run Namur from the Sambre and Meuse up to the Citadel, then drop back through the city centre when the legs want something steadier. Runnin'City links the Citadel with Saint Aubain Cathedral, and Union Royale Namur and Namur Angels give the club scene a proper local spine. Parc de La Plante works for easy Z2, strides, or a soft reset near the water. The route covers 94 km with 130 m of gain, so it sits nicely between base miles and a hilly long run. Grand Trail de Namur anchors the trail side with 60 km, while Champion's Trail, La Gelbressoise, Le Trail Davois, and Jogging Erpent Village keep the calendar busy.
Locals ride the rivers first, because the Jambes Loop and the Meuse Valley Path make clean base miles without overthinking the route. Riders climb when they point the bike at the Citadel of Namur, the hills around the citadel, or the Condroz to the south-east. The Condroz gives low hills of about 200 to 300 meters, plus forests and grazing fields, so it suits tempo, gran fondo prep, and punchy intervals. The Tour de Namur circuit runs 6 km with 1,370 m of climbing. Tour de Namur and the Namur cyclo-cross race are the anchor names.
Summer puts Namur into race mode, with Xterra Belgium, Triathlon de Namur, Namuraid, and the Tour de Namur giving runners and riders plenty to aim at. August brings the Belgian Motocross Grand Prix on the first weekend, and the city still feels lively for long rides, brick sessions, and evening runs along the water. September brings the Walloon Festivals, so locals can still stack decent training around town. Winter changes the rhythm without killing it, because cyclocross takes over the hills around the citadel and runners shift toward steady Z2, muddy trail loops, and shorter intervals when the light goes early.
