More Than a Race.

Mission

At Avanti Sport Events, our mission is to inspire and connect people through endurance sport. We believe that running is more than a physical challenge — it is a bridge between individuals, families, and communities.

Vision

Our vision is to become Belgium’s leading national brand for endurance events that unite sport and community. We aim to build a calendar of races that towns and participants are proud to host and attend.

Our Story

Together with our partners, we noticed a clear gap: too many local races lacked atmosphere, inclusivity, and a strong link with the community. That’s why we created Avanti

a platform where professional race organization meets local culture, food, and music. From marathons to village festivals, we unite communities through sport and celebration.

Where Running Meets Community

At Avanti, we believe a race is more than just a finish line — it’s a celebration of people, places, and purpose.


We organize marathons, trail runs, and endurance events that connect runners to the heart of Flanders. From cobblestone streets to forest trails, every event is designed to showcase the beauty of Belgium while building a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere for all participants.
