Good news for the Brussels Airport running community. Over the coming three years, our airport will be the title sponsor of the Brussels Marathon & Half Marathon. The sporting event, rebranded for the occasion as the Brussels Airport Marathon & Half Marathon, will take place on Sunday 28 October this year.
This event with an international appeal is a dream opportunity for Brussels Airport to create visibility: the Brussels marathon attracts a growing international audience of people who like to combine running with a visit to our capital city. As airport in the heart of Europe, Brussels Airport connects the country’s capital city with the rest of the world. In this way, we will also continue to put the Marathon & Half Marathon on the international map.
