Team marathon
Every year, about a thousand teams come to the King Baudouin Stadium for the DHL Ekiden.
Ekiden teams consist of six runners, who together cover the marathon distance of 42.195 km. The first, third and fifth runner each cover 5 km, the second and fourth runner 10 km and the final runner covers the remaining 7.195 km. Each runner runs a lap on the magical track of the King Baudouin Stadium.
The relays are not made with a baton, but with a special ribbon. This so-called ‘tasuki’ hangs – for those who want to do it according to the rules of the art – from the shoulder, diagonally across the chest, to the hip.
The Ekiden is always an exciting race, as the team’s success depends on each of the six runners. Everyone in the team therefore has an important function.
Alongside this, there will be a Kids Run over a distance of 1km for children aged 4 to 12.
Online registration is possible until 8 October 2024, 23:59 on the organiser’s website: TICKETS

Here you will find all the tips and tricks to easily reach the King Baudouin Stadium.
By bicycle:
If you are coming to the King Baudouin Stadium by bicycle, you can leave your bike at our bicycle parking, right next to the stadium.
By train:
It is no longer possible to directly reach the stadium from Brussels Central Station. We therefore recommend that everyone take the train to Brussels South and then transfer to metro line 6 towards Koning Boudewijn.
By car:
Take exit 7a “parking expo” on the Brussels Ring and proceed on foot from the parking lot to the stadium.
You can pre-book a parking ticket for parking C using the following link: https://parking.tickets.brussels-expo.com/schedule?language=en
This way, you’ll save a lot of time at the parking entrance.
