Beer Lovers’ Marathon Liege
Enter the 2025 Beer Lovers Marathon with Marathon Tours & Travel
The Beer Lovers Marathon is a unique blend of running, fun, and Belgian beer culture, making it a memorable experience for both participants and spectators. Each year there is a theme which encourages runners to race in costume, adding to the lively nature of the event, this year’s theme: Belgian Comic Strip!
Unlike traditional marathons, this event features beer stations along the route where, in addition to water and fruit, runners can sample different Belgian beers, with a whopping 16 different regional beers to choose from. These stations often have live music and festive activities, creating a party-like atmosphere. In addition to a great atmosphere the course takes runners through the beautiful and historic city of Liège, offering scenic views of the city – though slightly hilly to get those lofty views.
