Practical information
The Eindejaarscorrida Leuven 2024 will take place on Sunday 29 December 2024. The start will be on Bondgenotenlaan and the finish on Mgr. Ladeuzeplein in the centre of Leuven. There you will also find the big tent, where you can get your bib number or register if you have not done so in advance.
There are 4 races:
- DCLA kilometre (- 9 years) – start at 9h45 – registration not needed
- 4 km – start at 10h00
- 8 km – start at 10h30
- 12 km – start at 11h15
More info on the distances and course can be found on the ‘Distances and course‘ page.
You can register through our registration page. You can opt for an individual registration, a combined registration where you can register up to 5 runners at a time, or a team registration for larger groups.
Cost:
- Until 1 December 2024: €15
- From 2 to 15 December 2024: €18
- On site: €25
For practical and safety reasons, the number of runners is limited.
- 4 km – 1500 runners
- 8 km – 2500 runners
- 12 km – 2500 runners
- No registration is required for the DCLA kilometre for -9-year-olds
If the maximum number of runners has not yet been reached when pre-registration closes, you can also register on the day itself in the big tent from 8h00.
There will be no aid stations on the courses.
For safety reasons, it is forbidden to run with dogs or prams/buggies.
At 13h15, the city centre will be opened for traffic again, therefore participants of the 12 km (2nd lap) will be taken out of the race at 13h00 at the Ladeuzeplein.
The changing rooms with free sports bag storage are located 300m from the finish area (200m from the start site). Signposts have been put up from Bondgenotenlaan
Registrations until 1 December will receive their bib number at home.
Subsequent registrations can collect their bib number on the day itself at the Ladeuzeplein in the big tent from 8h00.
Didn’t receive a bib number?
If you registered before December 1, your bib number should be in your mailbox by December 15 at the latest. If this is not the case, you can report it via the personal link you received at registration. We will then provide you with a new bib number that you can pick up in the big tent on the day of the Corrida.
If you do not report this in advance, a new bib number will cost € 3.
DCLA uses Racetimer to process the results. If you notice after the race that your time is incorrect, do not hesitate to contact Racetimer. As a back-up to the time registration, the finish is also filmed with the race clock in view.
