Trek Antwerp Marathon

The TREK Antwerp Marathon is a major city road race held in Antwerp, Belgium, one of Europe’s most historic port cities and the largest city in Flanders. The event brings together a full marathon, half marathon, and 10K on the same day, creating a large autumn running festival through the city on the Scheldt.

The race is known for its fast, city-centered course and strong urban atmosphere. In recent editions, runners have passed landmarks such as the Port House, Meir, Central Station, Antwerp South, and the quays, with a dramatic finish near the MAS, one of Antwerp’s signature museums. The organizer says the 2026 route is being built on that same concept, with a focus on speed, accessibility, atmosphere, and showcasing the best of Antwerp’s historic and modern cityscape.

For destination runners, Antwerp offers a strong race-weekend setting: medieval streets, grand squares, riverside views, fashion and design culture, Belgian beer, chocolate, diamonds, and a compact city centre that is easy to explore before or after the race. The event’s flat profile and large-field energy make it attractive for both first-time marathoners and experienced runners chasing a fast autumn performance.
