The Baloise Namur Marathon and the Ligue Handisport Francophone have officially established a partnership aimed at enhancing the accessibility of the event and supporting an inclusive sporting practice open to all. This collaboration is part of a shared ambition: to enable more people with disabilities to fully experience a major running event under adapted, safe, and empowering conditions.

A shared vision: making the race truly inclusive Beyond symbolism, this partnership is based on an operational commitment: to work concretely on improving the reception and support of participants with disabilities. The Baloise Namur Marathon aims to continue and structure its accessibility approach, while the Ligue Handisport Francophone brings its expertise, recommendations, and in-depth knowledge of the field.

The goal is clear: to evolve the event so that everyone can participate according to their abilities, needs, and sporting goals, whether it be a personal challenge, a performance, or a collective moment.

Concrete actions for participants As part of this partnership, several areas of work will be developed and strengthened, including:

• Upfront information and guidance to facilitate registration and preparation for the participants concerned;
• On-site reception, with particular attention to specific needs (access, circulation, useful points, procedures);
• Coordination with field teams (volunteers, security, logistics) to ensure clear and consistent support.

A partnership serving sport and the region By partnering with the Ligue Handisport Francophone, the Baloise Namur Marathon reaffirms its role as a unifying event in the region, where sport rhymes with welcome, commitment, and participation. The race thus becomes a common space, capable of bringing together very different profiles around the same energy: that of self-improvement, movement, and sharing.

Through this collaboration, the partners aim to contribute to a sustainable dynamic: that of an accessible, demanding, and respectful sport, where everyone finds their place.
