Choose your favourite distance and participate in the Brussels Airport Marathon, Half Marathon or Mini Marathon on Sunday October 2nd.
After a forced two-year break, Brussels Airport, as the title partner of the Brussels Marathon and Half Marathon, is looking forward to welcoming you again, whether as participant or supporter. The 17th edition of the international running event will take place on Sunday, 2 October 2022. In 2019, 300+ colleagues from 13 airport companies took up the challenge.

Participants can choose between 3 distances: the 10-km mini marathon, the half marathon (21.097 km), and of course the full marathon (42.195 km). On top of that, the routes and start/finish location will be completely new, which will make it all the more inviting and exciting. The exact routes will be communicated on www.brusselsairportmarathon.be in April).
