EnergyVision Dwars Door Mechelen 2026

EnergyVision Dwars door Mechelen begins at the Veemarkt and concludes on the Grote Markt, passing directly through the city center of Mechelen. This Sunday city run offers multiple distances: 6 km, 10 km, a half marathon, and a 1 km children's run for ages 4 to 12. This variety caters to families, casual runners, club runners, and those seeking a longer road race within the same event. The half marathon was introduced for the race's 20th anniversary, expanding the event beyond its established 1 km, 6 km, and 10 km options. The route features a section through the Tangent, a contemporary road tunnel and a distinctive part of the course. The event utilizes chip timing, provides on-course refreshments, and offers secure bag storage, along with showers and changing facilities at Sporthal Paardenstraatje. It is also part of the EnergyVision Running Tour, which advocates for environmentally conscious race management via an Eco Charter.
