About the Leuven Marathon

Leuven is a new but well-supported Belgian marathon from Golazo, built on the same city that hosted the European Running Championships. Its race materials already cover registration, course, and race-day results.

Course

The route starts and finishes at Parkpoort, runs through the city center, uses canal-side sections, and includes a greener loop through Heverleebos. It is a city marathon with enough variety to avoid feeling like a simple urban lap.

Race-day weather

April in Flemish Brabant is usually mild but unpredictable. Rain and wind are normal spring variables, while the mix of urban and greener sections can make conditions feel different across the course.
