The nature reserve "Polders of Kruibeke" is besides a controlled flood area also a Valhalla for athletes who want to enjoy nature in its purest form. During the beautiful but challenging course in the polders of Kruibeke, you will not only see various polder pearls, but you will also encounter extra entertainment in many places. A DJ in the middle of a nature reserve, or a cookie monster cheering you on? So you'll soon forget those muddy shoes and pound just that little bit harder against the wind.
You are already getting your money's worth with a choice of different distances, within the set course: 10.5K, 21K & 42K. If running a quarter, half or full marathon is a bridge too far for you, you can also participate in our walk! You walk for 21K through the same fantastic scenery with the same amenities and all at your own pace!
De kidsrun is ook dit jaar terug na groot succes. Dit jaar samen met Capri-sun.
Na aankomst krijg je een fantastische goodiebag, voorzien door alle sterke sponsors, neem je een lekkere douche en vecht je tegen de verzuring op de aansluitende (ondertussen legendarische) afterparty HARTSLAG.

Participants of the Van Moer marathon run the course of 21K twice. The participants of the half marathon lay one once the loop of 21K. For the 10.5K it likewise remains at one round.
The entire course is fully signposted and there are signalizers at key points.
Download the GPX of the 21 and 42K here.
The GPX of the 10.5K can be found here download.
Substrate:
In case of heavy rain, the course will be reviewed, depending on the condition of the off-road trails. Do know that MVK is known for a tough final mud section, at the bottom of the Scheldelei. This stretch can be very boggy and is about 2km before the finish.
Op het parcours bevindt zich 1 extra hulppost, uitgerust met medewerkers van het Rode Kruis. Er zijn verschillende animatiepunten voorzien op het hele parcours.
Het parcours is voor 80% verhard (asfalt en verhard jaagpad). Weet wel dat de Marathon van Kruibeke bekend staat om een pittig en drassig laatste modderstuk, ongeveer 2 kilometer voor de finish. Ook doorheen het parcours kunnen sommige stroken er glibberig bijliggen – zeker bij veel regen.
Welke schoenen wij aanraden? Een trailschoen of hybride loopschoen is zeker geen overbodige luxe. Je kan ook met gewone loopschoenen lopen, maar pas dan extra op bij de modderstukken.
