Accessibility info from East and West Flanders for the Baloise Antwerp Short Run & Persil Kids Run
Bicycle
If coming from Waasland, Ifcycle 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
If coming from Waasland, take the bus. Several buses from Waasland get you close to the start. Use the routeplanner of De Lijn to figure out how to get to the Sporthal stop on Linkeroever.
Boat
From Kruibeke, the Waterbus takes you to Linkeroever (stop Sint Anna) twice an hour. 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 Melsele or P+R Linkeroever and then take the tram to the start. Follow the signs on the approach roads to the Park and Rides.
P+R Linkeroever is only accessible with a reservation. Reserve your parking space using this link. Give yourself enough time when calculating your time slot and stick to the time of your reservation!
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 in Zwijndrecht to the bike parking on Frederik Van Eedenplein.
