Marathon de Louvain

Hallo population ! 👋

Après une année 2025 réussie in Leuven with the presence of the European Running Championships 🏃, in 2026 the rhythm of the running continues and a new feature appears ⭐️, the Leuven Marathon. An event that's simply set to be extraordinary, which will take place in the city of Leuven in Belgium 🇧🇪. 6 months before the race, they have already registered more than 10 000 entrants, imagine 😳. Heads up, they’re prepping the city to host a true running festival. They say that the Flemings have hearts that burn ❤️‍🔥, since you’ll be there in temperatures between 4° and 15°, hopefully the saying is true! 🤭 In any case, let's pray your April won’t be packed, because this race is ready to inaugurate this very first edition ! 🎬

Warm up those legs, and come run in the beautiful Flemish region 💞. Yes, for the second time, Leuven hosts a legendary race. In 2025, 28 000 participants gathered to take part in a European race 🇪🇺 and you could say it was a great success! The city couldn’t stop there, so the Leuven Marathon is taking the baton 🔥. What could be better than the iconic Marathon distance to ride the trend ⭐️. Of course, 42,195 km, just that, an emblematic distance, that can only make proud all who take it on 💪. With a start in the city center, you’ll embark on a lively race that’s sure to motivate you!You’ll pass through the Brabant Woods 🌳, so don’t get lost among the trees! Naturally follows the Half Marathon, a great distance to be part of the running magic 🪄. With a course that will surprise you with its beautiful scenery, it’s a distance that deserves to be celebrated! 🥳 Then a 10 km, and yes, typically these three distances form a perfect match 🔐. So no fuss, here there are distances for every taste, you’ll surely find the right shoes for you ! What’s certain is you shouldn’t doubt the vibe awaiting you. Volunteers and spectators will be on hand to promise an amazing atmosphere 😜. Music, cheers and joy, like a true festival, we told you! 🤩

Then a after-run in this city is far from wasted time. With all the sightseeing and tastings 😋, you’ve got plenty to enjoy for a short extended weekend. Leuven is known for its typical Flemish city architecture 🌆. So we recommend a stroll through the alleyways and a stop at Grote Markt, no, it’s not a cave, but indeed the city center square ✨. The Saint Peter’s Church and the City Hall, are two must-stops to stay awe-struck 🤯. There are plenty of things to do in the city, and don’t forget you’re not far from the capital! "Brussels, I love you, Brussels, I love you" 🫶. Yes, within an hour by car or train 🚆 you can reach this wonderful city. But hush, the belly of the hungriest is heard. Don’t panic, you know it… Yes "fries, fries, fries

En résumé, une course animée, méritée et chargée, suivie de la découverte d’une belle ville belge, accompagnée d’un repas goûtu 💫. Évidemment que ça donne envie, alors prend vite ton dossard, les places se remplissent à toute vitesse ! ⚡️
