This heartwarming sporting event brings together runners, walkers, companies, and supporters in and around the port, all in support of 4Brain vzw.

4Brain vzw is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the general public on how to maintain a healthy brain, raising awareness about brain disorders, and improving the quality of life for those affected by them.

A unique race location
Run or walk through the impressive port area of Oostende—a site that is normally closed to the public. This is a one-of-a-kind experience in an industrial setting. Once again, participants will pass over the REBO terminal, discover various companies along the way, and witness ships docking up close.

Start and finish will take place at MultiTech NV, a subsidiary of Port Oostende, located in the Esplanadestraat. Plenty of great prizes await the winners.

New distances and activities in 2025
The third edition introduces some exciting updates:

  • Walkers can now choose between a 4 km or 8 km route.
  • Runners have an extra challenge with a 16 km run added to the existing distances.
  • For the youngest participants (up to 12 years old), there’s a kids run of 500 m or 1 km.

The Port Oostende Charity Run is more than just a sports event. It’s a festive day out with entertainment for all ages, music, and space to unwind—perfect for both active participants and supporters.

A focus on safety, health & environment is deeply embedded in the DNA of Port Oostende.
With initiatives like the Port Oostende Charity Run, the organization aims to inspire local residents and businesses in and around the port area to actively care for their health and well-being.
