Halve Marathon Nijlen

About the race

The Halve Marathon van Nijlen falls on the first Sunday of June every year and is organised by the Nijlense Atletiekvrienden together with AV Lyra-Lierse. All races start on the Guido Gezellestraat and finish on the Bevelsesteenweg, on flat local laps of roughly 5 kilometres: the 5 km runs one lap, the 10 km two and the half marathon four. Bicycles are not allowed on the course and there is a water point every 2.5 kilometres. The afternoon opens with children's races over 200, 400 and 800 metres, in separate series for boys and girls, with a medal and a t-shirt for every participant. Changing rooms, showers and the race office are at the sports hall.
