Semi-Marathon de la Province de Liège
Semi-Marathon de la Province de Liège is a flat half marathon in Liège, Belgium, held each October. Starts and finishes on Île Monsin and follows the Meuse and the Albert Canal, passing a nature reserve and the Chertal site. The organiser lists only 30 m of climbing. A lock crossing at km 17 uses two footbridges. Mid-October in Liège is usually cool and often damp, with temperatures of about 7 to 15°C. On a course as flat as Semi-Marathon de la Province de Liège, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
