Wintercorrida 2026
Experience Kortrijk in a magical way during the Wintercorrida, the atmospheric end-of-year run through the city. Choose between a 5 km or 9 km route and run past illuminated squares, cozy Christmas markets, and iconic landmarks that shine even brighter in December. Even the youngest sports enthusiasts will find something to enjoy: during the LAGO KIDSRUN , they can run 500m or 1000m on the course next to Lago Kortrijk Weide. Make it extra cozy and come in a fun running outfit or with beautiful lighting – that way, we can make it a memorable street run together. You can also purchase accessories at the event itself.
