Route

The core of this official run remains unchanged in 2025: the skyline of Antwerp and all the beauty of the Left Bank. And that also means the infamous sandy stretch over Sint-Anneke plage. During the run (75% paved course) you almost always have a view of the Koekenstad. And that while you walk mainly through the green.

Start and finish are located at Thonetlaan, 2050 Antwerp near the pedestrian tunnel.

The circulation can be found here to discover it in advance.

The following pacers are ready to guide you to your dream time on the 21K: 1h30 - 1h40 - 1h50 - 2h00 - 2h10

Food stations

! Attention. We are a cupless event. There will be no cups at our supply stands. You can purchase this yourself at your registration or bring it with you.

An ecocup folds together very conveniently and is easy to take with you.

 

 

We are testing out a crane system with CUPernicus this year to reduce disposable plastic at this event.

 

Refreshments will be smooth and fast but so are only with your own cup or softflask.
