Marathon Hesbaye

Marathon Hesbaye is a one-day road-running event held in and around Hannut, Belgium, with the start and finish at the town's covered market (Marché couvert). The event on 15 August 2026 offers multiple distances — a full marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5 km and a two-person relay — and the organisers present revised courses with improved aid stations. Routes pass local landmarks including the site of the Battle of Hannut and the Château de Blehen, and Strava course links are published for each distance to assist participants with pacing and familiarisation.

The race experience emphasises a festive atmosphere with on-course animations and finishers’ memorabilia. The official site indicates medals and finisher T-shirts for the marathon, relay and half-marathon, while medals and shirts for shorter distances appear offered separately (“sur commande”), so participants should confirm inclusions when registering. Precise start times and detailed logistics (wave times, bag drop, parking) are not listed on the page; entrants are advised to check the official event website or contact the organisers for final schedules and practical information.
