In Flanders Fields-marathon

The Flanders Fields Marathon runs through the flat landscape of the Westhoek, with its magnificent and wide panoramas and historical heritage reminding of World War One. The route sets off in Nieuwpoort follows the river IJzer/Yser towards Diksmuide, and goes further passing the historic battlefields, alongside the Ieperlee to finally arrive at the historic town of Ieper/Ypres. The course runs through an open and completely flat landscape, mostly follows rivers and passes through picturesque small villages and historical towns. This also makes it an ideal race for beginners.
