Gent Marathon

🎂 10th anniversary • 10 days until registrations open

In 2017, Ghent welcomed its first marathon runners. Apart from the one edition we missed in 2020, you've been crossing the finish line and creating these special moments year after year.

On 21 March 2027, we will celebrate this special milestone: 10 editions of marathon and half marathon running in Ghent. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

This anniversary belongs to all of you. Our participants, spectators, volunteers, partners and supporters have helped shape this event into what it is today.
