Brussels Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Brussels Marathon, run in its last years as the Brussels Airport Marathon & Half Marathon, was an autumn road race in the Belgian capital that has ended. Golazo organised it, and the 20th and final edition took place on Sunday 2 November 2025. The marathon started at 10:00 on Place De Brouckère and finished on Place des Palais, in front of the Royal Palace. According to the organiser's announcement, the course crossed ten Brussels municipalities and passed the Koekelberg basilica, the Laeken castle, the Atomium and the King Baudouin Stadium, whose track the runners entered. The route then returned to the city centre and ran through the Cinquantenaire and along Rue de la Loi in the European district before the finish. A half marathon and a 7 km race ran the same day, and the final edition drew about 20,000 participants, a record. Fewer than 3,000 of them ran the full marathon distance. The day after the race the City of Brussels announced that it would no longer host the marathon from 2026, and organiser Golazo has said it hopes a marathon can exist elsewhere in the Brussels region. No later edition has been announced.
