WHAT TO EXPECT
VERIFIED EVENT DETAILS · DAILY CHORE EDITORIAL COMMENTARY
Running Through a Living Postcard
Bruges' entire historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the marathon route uses nearly all of it — canal-side paths, cobblestone squares and medieval towers replace the usual urban-marathon backdrop of office blocks and highway overpasses.
Daily Chore Take
The cobblestones are real, not just scenic — worth practicing some cobblestone running before race day if you're chasing a specific time here.
