Everything to Know for the Brussels Half and Full Marathon

Brussels is a great fall race, that gives runners the chance to explore the neighborhoods of Brussels and run next to the Atomium. There are many hills along the course, but most of them are very small.

Bib pick-up: I recommend arriving early for bib pick-up, as there is only one full day and the lines can get long. Pick-up starts at 10AM on Saturday at Place des Palais and goes until 6PM. On race day you can also get your kit from 7:30AM to 9:30AM.

Race start: The half marathon and marathon both start at Place de Brouckère, the half going at 9AM and the marathon at 9:45AM. The finish for both races is at the Place des Palais.
