Accessibility info from the Rupel Region for the Baloise Antwerp 10 Miles
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.
Event shuttle
Shuttles will take you to the start from Puurs. These comfortable coaches will pick you up close to home and drop you close to the start. Go ahead and book your ride via https://bit.ly/10Miles_EventShuttle.
Boat
The Waterbus can take you straight to Linkeroever (stop Sint Anna) from Hemiksem. Plan your trip via the planner van de 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 through the Waaslandtunnel to get close to the start. You can only return to Rechteroever after the race, when the last runner has finished. There will be plenty of bicycle parking on Linkeroever.
Cycling from Rechteroever to Linkeroever is possible between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm. You can return from Linkeroever to Rechteroever between 5:30 pm and 7 pm.
