Rupelstreek - Baloise Antwerp Short Run en Persil Kids Run

Accessibility info from the Rupel region for the Baloise Antwerp Short Run & Persil Kids Run

Bicycle

From Hemiksem you can cross the Scheldt twice an hour by ferry to Bazel. From the pontoon in Bazel, you cycle through Kruibeke and Burcht to the bicycle parking on Frederik Van Eedenplein or at the exit of the Waaslandtunnel.

Train

Plan your train journey to Antwerp via the routeplanner of the NMBS. On Sundays, a Weekend Ticket makes your journey 50% cheaper and you can take up to 4 children younger than 12 for free.

If you don’t have a station at walking or cycling distance, park your car at the train station. If you travel by train, the train ticket gives you a discount on parking in NMBS car parks.

Bus

Several buses drive to Antwerp from the Rupel region. Use the routeplanner of De Lijn to plan your route.

Boat

The Waterbus can take you straight to Linkeroever (stop Sint Anna) from Hemiksem. Plan your trip via the planner of the Waterbus.

Car

Bear in mind that it will be very busy around Antwerp on Sunday 27 April. Park in P+R Berchem and take tram 9 to stop F. Van Eeden. Follow the signs on the approach roads to the P+R.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds on the tram, rent a Donkey Republic share bike at the Park & Ride. Code ANT10MILES gives you a 20% discount on 1 booking (1 ride or 1 entire day). More info about how to rent a Donkey bike here.

Or bring your own bike and cycle from the Park & Bike-parking along the Vogelzanglaan to the bicycle parking at Sint-Jansvliet. There you can continue on foot taking the pedestrian tunnel. Bicycles and scooters are not permitted in the pedestrian tunnel on Sunday 27 April!

Supporters

Bear in mind very long waiting times (up to 1.5hrs) at the Scheldt crossing. Make the necessary adjustments and avoid the crossing from Rechteroever to Linkeroever! Come to cheer on your favourite runner in one of our supporters’ areas on Rechteroever:
