What The Fox Running

About the race

What The Fox Running sets off from the Kattengrachstraat in Ten Brielen, a village in the municipality of Comines-Warneton in the far west of Hainaut. There are two distances: 5.5 kilometres and an 11 kilometres made up of two of those same laps. The course is flat and three quarters paved; the remaining quarter runs off-road through gardens in the village, which is rare for a road race. Entry is open from the age of ten and registration is online only. Unusually, the free children's race comes after the adults rather than before, with a shared podium and no classification. Everyone receives a medal, and adults a regional beer besides.
