Trek Antwerp Marathon 2027

In Belgium 🇧🇪, it's not just the beers that are good...the races are too!

Here, good mood and full relaxation guaranteed! ☝️ But the carrot 🥕 is much prettier.

Eager to tread the Olympic soil? 😉 (Yes, the city hosted the 1920 Olympics!) Between the business district and the old town 🏙️, you'll traverse an urban route sketched by the waterfront 🌊. Antwerp and against all odds, is a cosmopolitan and multicultural city! Close to the Netherlands 🇳🇱, this seaside city ⚓️ is so pleasant to run, especially in autumn! 🍁 The sea breeze, and the russet leaves carpeting the cobbled streets, provide an autumnal setting worthy of the most beautiful capitals European 🇪🇺 and optimal running conditions ⚡️. Did you know that in 2020, at the Antwerp Marathon dozens of thousands of plastic cups 🥤 used by runners were recycled ♻️ to make tables and chairs? A beautiful committed initiative reflective of the lovely Belgian city! 🫶

After traversing the streets of Antwerp, which will have transported you between Dutch 🇳🇱, Belgian 🇧🇪 and Danish 🇩🇰 ambiance, you'll need a return to Antwerp roots... 😛 Head to the fries stand 🍟 to indulge in Belgian specialties! For a digestive stroll, we've lined up a small program for a champion finisher: Start by visiting Our Lady of Antwerp ⛪️ and its breathtaking Gothic architecture 💨, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Pass through the central station 🚉, one of the most beautiful stations in the world! 🌎 Yeah, that's right 😎. Finally, end your cultural excursion at the MAS - Museum Aan de Stroom, a ultra-contemporary design museum, to admire some folk artworks nestled by the Bonaparte Basin on the old Port of Antwerp 🚢.

And you, are you taking on the Antwerp and against all odds challenge? 💥
