45. Night of Flanders Renault-Marathon

The Nacht van Vlaanderen in Torhout is a popular multi-day running and hiking festival with various distances, including the marathon, half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km. The event will celebrate its 45th edition in 2026 and takes place from Friday, June 19, to Saturday, June 20, 2026 ([running.life](https://running.life/nl/event/nacht-van-vlaanderen?utm_source=openai)). Numerous runners and hikers experience a unique atmosphere: starts and finishes for different disciplines are integrated, such as the marathon (running and hiking), half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, and very long hiking routes (up to 100 km) ([running.life](https://running.life/nl/event/nacht-van-vlaanderen?utm_source=openai)).

According to currently available information, registration starts on January 15 and closes online on May 31. For the 5 km and 10 km routes, on-site registration is possible on June 20. Participation is subject to prior registration; refunds are only granted for medical or urgent family reasons with proof and timely notification before June 20 ([running.life](https://running.life/nl/event/nacht-van-vlaanderen?utm_source=openai)).

Unfortunately, there are currently no official figures available regarding the number of participants for the marathon or other distances. Detailed information about the course length, profile (e.g., elevation), weather conditions from the previous year, or any lotteries during registration has not yet been publicly documented. To obtain this important data for your SEO-optimized article production, I recommend contacting the official event website or the organizer VZW De Nacht in Torhout directly to receive reliable numbers and information.
