Antwerp Marathon
Antwerp Marathon is a flat marathon in Antwerp, Belgium, held each October. A two-lap city loop from the Kattendijk Bridge past the Boerentoren, the Meir, Central Station and Zuidpark, then along the quays to the finish at the MAS. The organiser calls it flat and fast. Late October is cool and often damp, with typical race-day temperatures of 7 to 14°C. On a course as flat as Antwerp Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
