About this event

The Gent Marathon brings together 15,000 runners each spring for a tour through Belgium's historic canal city. The route weaves through Ghent's architectural gems — crossing St. Michael's Bridge, skirting the Gentbrugse Meersen nature reserve, and passing the Planet Group Arena — before finishing on the indoor athletics track at Sport Vlaanderen Gent. Marathon and half marathon runners start at staggered times to keep the course flowing smoothly. With its mix of urban landmarks and natural spaces, plus the cool March weather, it's a solid choice for experienced runners looking to explore Belgium's cultural heart on foot.
