Ballonloop 2026

6 Sept 2026·Sint-Niklaas·KidsRun 1 km, 5 km, 10 km

Ballonloop is a city road race in Sint-Niklaas during the Peace Festivities, with the renovated Grote Markt and Parklaan as recognisable anchors. The programme offers a 1 km KidsRun, 5 km and 10 km on a closed urban course. Along the way, runners pass familiar city spots such as the Grote Markt, Stationsstraat, Regentieplein and Parklaan, so the race is clearly rooted in the festive city centre. Electronic timing, aid for the longer distances and podium prizes give the event a proper race structure, while the atmosphere remains accessible for families and recreational runners. For anyone looking for a lively September city race, Ballonloop is mainly a mix of running, spectators and Vredefeesten atmosphere.
