Brussels Airport Marathon
Lo esencial
La Brussels Airport Marathon & Half Marathon es una de las carreras de ruta más grandes del otoño en Bélgica, atrayendo cada año a miles de corredores del país y del extranjero a la Región de Bruselas-Capital. Se corre el domingo, 25 de octubre de 2026, ofreciendo una maratón completa (42.2 km), un medio maratón (21.1 km), 10K y una Kids Run, con salida y llegada alrededor del Estadio Rey Balduino (Stade Roi Baudouin) en Bruselas. Las ediciones recientes han movido el recorrido al corazón de la ciudad, llevando a los corredores ante los principales hitos de Bruselas y a través de varios municipios de la región capital. El recorrido es relativamente rápido y bien apoyado: cronometraje por chip, pacers de ritmos comunes, avituallamiento frecuente, y personal de recorrido y voluntarios. Los finishers reciben una medalla; la zona de post-carrera ofrece refrescos y entretenimiento en un ambiente festivo. El fin de semana incluye expo para recoger dorsales más actividades para toda la familia, y la zona de salida es accesible por transporte público de Bruselas. Realizada a finales de octubre, el evento normalmente ofrece condiciones frescas de otoño ideales para el running de distancia. La maratón cumple con estándares internacionales y ha servido a corredores en busca de tiempos clasificatorios para Boston (BQ) y récords personales. Nota: los organizadores han estado en transición de la marca del evento hacia 'Brussels Marathon'; los corredores deben verificar el recorrido más reciente, inscripción y detalles de cronometraje en el sitio oficial antes de participar.
