The Brussels Marathon is an annual AIMS-certified marathon hosted by Brussels, Belgium and usually held in the autumn. The full race was first held in 1984; apart from the traditional 42.195km, also shorter distances are covered nowadays.

Track

The marathon makes a loop, starting and ending in the City of Brussels, in the proximity of Brussels Park.[1] Initially the runners head eastwards, to Tervuren. Alongside the track, the participants pass several green areas: the Cinquantenaire Park, the Woluwe Park, the Capuchin Forest, the Royal Belgian Golf Club and the Bois de la Cambre.

Distances

Apart from the full marathon, also a half marathon, a Mini Marathon (5km) and a Kids Run (1km) are held.[1]

The proper Brussels Marathon is open to runners 18 or older from any nation, competitors for the half marathon have to be at least 16 years of age.

Size

More people participate in the half marathon than in the entire. As of 2014, the half marathon had most success in 2012 (8006 participants) and the proper Brussels Marathon in 2010 (2546 runners).[2]
