Course + GPX
The course in Gentbrugge is known for being lightning fast. Last year, local hero Bashir Abdi dipped below the magic hour mark in the half marathon for the first time in his career. In doing so, it improved the 26-year-old Belgian record.
This year the course has been redesigned and is even faster. While Bashir may have a shot at the European record, you will find the ideal conditions to run your best time ever.
Start and finish are located at the Wouter Weylandt athletics stadium in Gentbrugge.
The course consists of a 1K start, followed by two laps of 9K to finally run back to the stadium. Along the way you will pass the Gentbrugse Meersen and the Scheldedijk, among other places.
During the 21K, there are four supplies provided with the support of 4GOLD. You'll find them after 4, 8, 12 and 16K.
