The story

Antwerp 10 Miles in Antwerp

A 10-mile road race held alongside the Antwerp Marathon each April, best known for sending runners underground through the Kennedy and Waasland tunnels beneath the Scheldt before finishing back on the Left Bank. The route mixes riverside embankments and the historic center with two enclosed tunnel crossings that give the race a distinct, echoing middle section.

Twice during the Antwerp 10 Miles, the route drops underground: runners pass through the Kennedy Tunnel beneath the Scheldt to reach the right bank, then return via the Waasland Tunnel, an out-and-back river crossing that gives the race its most distinctive physical stretch.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The defining feature is underground: runners cross the Scheldt twice through road tunnels rather than bridges, turning a flat river-city course into something closer to an indoor sprint in the middle of an outdoor race

02

The mystery stays covered

The event runs on the same April weekend as the wider Antwerp Marathon, whose own history dates to 1980, so the 10-mile field benefits from marathon-scale finish-line infrastructure and crowd support despite being the shorter distance on the program
