About the event
The 47th edition of the 20 km de Bruxelles is on Sunday 30 May 2027. Scale first: 47,253 runners took part in 2026. That year's entries filled in under an hour once registration opened, which is why the opening date matters more than the race date for anyone who wants a bib - entries for 2027 are expected to open in March. The course starts and finishes at the Cinquantenaire, east of the centre.
47,253 runners took part in 2026, which makes the 20 km de Bruxelles a mass race first and a race second. The 47th edition is on Sunday 30 May 2027, starting and finishing at the Cinquantenaire. The entry window is the hard part: the 2026 field filled in under an hour, and entries for 2027 are expected to open in March.
The organiser has not published the 2027 entry fee. For reference, the 2026 edition was 35 euros with a minimum age of 12, and registration opened on a Wednesday at 10:00, online or in person. Those terms are reported from the 2026 edition and may change, so the fee on the entry page is the one that counts.
