My first half was amazing, great support around the course. The location was lovely & the race route was flat & fast. Well organised with friendly helpful officials. The refreshment stations around the course were much appreciated as was the beer & food after the race. I honestly really enjoyed it except maybe the last 100m of cobbles.

This was my first marathon ever. I liked the start a lot in the little streets of Brugges which is also called the Venice of the North. Afterwards the course went by the water as we ran towards the sea. Returning happend through little villages with their typicall white houses. Around km 30 my hamstrings started shivering so i had to slow down and even walk a few times. After all i managed to finish under 4h , in 3h:57 min, which i saw as a succes for my first one.

we all enjoyed the walk and glad that this was an option as we had a few runners taking part in the half marathon, but we could also join in the fun by walking 8k.

it was a fabulous walk, taking in the sites as we meandered through. met up with marathon runners for the final bit. it was great.

start en eerste vijf km door rij van vele supporters . Dan een lang saai stuk . Daarna langs kronkelende wegen terug naar Brugge . Vanaf Damse vaart opnieuw veel volk. Leuke aankomst in Brugge , enkel jammer dat de aankomst werd omheind met twee meter hoge nadarafsluiting. Verder super organistaie

Gros problème de ccordination entre World's marathon et Golazo. Malgré de nombreux mails échangés et même des coups de téléphone, jamais World's marathon n'a transmis à Golazo mon inscription pour mon full marathon... Heureusement, le samedi après midi, sur place, j'ai pu obtenir mon dossard. C'est stressant. Mauvaise note donc à Voytek et World's marathon.

Très beau parcours, organisation parfaite de Golazo.

La organizacion bien. Comida y cerveza al final. Amabilidad. Hay medallas para todas las distancias pero solo camiseta para los maratonianos. Todo es cemento, adoquines y asfalto. Sales de la ciudad y vas por el campo,. Llano. Claro, son los Paises Bajos.

Bonita ciudad y sus alrededores. El unico error fue al elegir el establecimiento donde pasar unos dias como un turista más. Dicho rstablecimiento donde su dueña fue desagradable, maleducada. Y con unos elementos en muy mal estado en la habitación. La tv cayéndose de su anclaje en la pared, sin pomo en la puerta, ni papelera, ni cambio de toallas, etc..Dicho establecimiento cobró 500€por tres noches con desayuno y el trato fue pesimo... Se llama Saint Georges. Bed & Breakfast. Pesimo lugar.
