Halve Marathon Aalst

Halve Marathon Aalst is a city half marathon in Aalst, Belgium, starting and finishing on Statieplein in the town center. This late-autumn race features a 21.1 km main event and a shorter 5 km option. Organizers welcome runners of all levels, not exclusively fast club athletes. The half marathon course is flat, suited for steady running, with pacers for various target times and chip timing for official results. A wheelchair start is also included for the half marathon, broadening the event's scope beyond a standard road race. The course is designed for practicality: few turns, a flat profile, and a central start-finish area facilitating gatherings around the station square for runners and spectators. The race provisions include water and isotonic drinks on the course, ample refreshments in the finish area, a free bag drop, changing rooms, showers, insurance during the race, and a medal for every finisher. Registration closes before race day; it is not a walk-up event. Personalized bibs can be collected in advance. Time limits are 2 hours 45 minutes for the half marathon and 45 minutes for the 5 km, maintaining event accessibility within the framework of a timed city race.
