LAGO Monument Run 2026
September 26, 2026
Join us for a walk or stroll and explore the historic city center of Sint-Truiden.
What?
The LAGO Monument Run is an exciting evening run that lets you explore the historic city center of Sint-Truiden in a surprisingly active way.
During the 11th edition on Saturday, September 26, you’ll run purely for fun in the 6K Fun Run. You’ll enjoy the same formula that has made this event a success for years: running through various locations with plenty of fun activities.
Do you prefer a more athletic challenge? Then our 10K and 15K courses are the perfect solution. These include timing, and you can choose to skip certain buildings by using the faster fast lanes.
There are also races tailored for kids, including the Fairy Tale Run (for children up to 6 years old) and the Kids Run (for children up to 12 years old).
