Nieuwpoort Marathon (Long Course Weekend, Belgium)
Description
Nieuwpoort Marathon: The Nieuwpoort Marathon is the grand finale of the Long Course Weekend Belgium, taking place on September 20, 2026, in Nieuwpoort, West Flanders, Belgium. The key keyword is: Nieuwpoort Marathon. The event offers a popular running and sports festival with four distances – 5 km, 10 km, half marathon (21.1 km) and full marathon (42.2 km) – that run through the picturesque polders and along the coastline of the Westhoek. The highlight of each course is the festive finish passage on the red carpet of the LCW Festival Square, surrounded by music and cheering crowds. Participants enjoy notable landmarks along the way, such as the Albert I Memorial, which gives each course a historical note. For young runners, there is a dedicated Kids' Run, making the event truly suitable for all ages.
The organizers place emphasis on clear rules: maximum time limits apply – 5 hours 30 minutes for the marathon, 3 hours 30 minutes for the half marathon, 90 minutes for 10 km and 60 minutes for 5 km – which provide both participants and organizers with planning security. A detailed timetable shows the schedule: registration begins on Thursday, September 17 (afternoon), and continues until Sunday morning. On Sunday, the races start in stages: first the Kids' Run at 9:15 am, followed by the marathon at 10:00 am, then the 5 km and 10 km races, and two waves for the half marathon at 12:10 and 12:20. The awards ceremony takes place afterwards, with the final medal ceremony for the entire Long Course Weekend at 4:00 pm. In addition, pace groups are available for the marathon and half marathon, with planned target times of, for example, 3:30–5:00 hours (marathon) and 1:30–2:30 hours (half marathon) – ideal for those who want to achieve a specific target time.
In addition, participants benefit from attractive inclusive services: personal start number upon timely registration, medals, refreshments along the course, secure baggage storage, chip-based timing, and access to FinisherPix photos. The location is centrally located in Nieuwpoort and easily accessible. The event is part of the three-day Long Course Weekend Festival (September 18–20, 2026), which offers options for combining swimming and cycling. Together, this creates an ideal sports and running experience – organized, atmospheric, and versatile.
