I did the 10 miles version of this event. The starting area was huge, there were a lot of people entered, I think it might even have the second largest number of participants of a race in Belgium after the Brussels 20km. Bag drop, number collection and toilets were well organised.The start was organised into 3 waves, each being half an hour apart. I was put in the last wave. While this meant for easier organisation it does dilute the large event atmosphere somewhat and some of the crowds had gone by the time slower people in wave 3 went around. The course was good and takes you through the more interesting parts of Antwerp. Aid stations were sufficient. If you are travelling by train to Antwerp for the race allow plenty of time to get there and get home because the start is on the other side of the river. You have to walk through the tunnel or get a free boat but either way it takes some time.There were medals but I feel they could do with a more exciting design. Overall I would do it again but perhaps not every year.

It is a not crowded event with approximatelly 4,000 runners. The course is almost flat and easy to run but room for improvements such as better navigation and signs. It was raining during the start of the race but later got better and temperature was ideal for a race. The information on the web need to be improved, no information of the exact start pointing snd area, course altitudes, logistics such as however provide bags for your clothes or you need to arrange your own(which was the case) etc. It is a very basic event which likely put more emphasis on their half marathon event the sane day.
