Battel Run

About the race

Battel Run is a summer road race held during Battel Foor in the Battel district of Mechelen. The race starts at School De Ark/Arkade on Wolverbosstraat and keeps the programme deliberately compact: an 800 m Kids Run followed by 5 km and 10 km for adults and recreational runners. The official 2026 information links the event to Ready to Move and Battel Foor, with registration through Go Dare and on-the-day entries. That gives Battel Run the feel of a local evening race with clear distances, a recognisable village atmosphere and enough choice for anyone wanting a short or slightly longer run near Mechelen.
