Long Course Weekend Belgium

About the race

Long Course Weekend Belgium is not a single race but a three-day sports festival in Nieuwpoort, spreading swimming, cycling and running across three consecutive days. You can do one discipline, combine two or complete all three. Anyone choosing the full programme covers 3.8 kilometres of swimming, 180 kilometres of cycling and a marathon — the same distances as a full triathlon, but with a night's rest between them. There is also a half version over 1.9 kilometres, 90 kilometres and the half marathon. The Sunday marathon is known as the Nieuwpoort Marathon and can also be run on its own. Anyone finishing all three disciplines receives a fourth medal on Sunday.
