Course

The route is a loop that begins on quiet green peripheral roads for a gentle start, then delivers a spectacular stretch through the medieval city centre — the Graslei and Korenlei canal quays, 12th-century Gravensteen castle, the Belfort and Sint-Niklaaskerk — before finishing at the foot of the Ghelamco Arena. The canals and 1,000-year-old architecture make it one of Europe's most scenic flat marathons.
