In this chapter, a state of the art of empirical findings with regard to running in Flanders (Belgium) is presented. The organisation of sports in Belgium is influenced by the structure of the Belgian state. Because sport is part of the cultural sphere, governmental competences with regard to sport are the exclusive responsibility of three community governments (Flemish community, French community and Germanspeaking community). Due to this structuration, the sports policy and provision of sports (i.e. running) in Flanders is different from the other communities. Therefore, the present chapter mainly focuses on results of conducted research regarding the organisation and participation in running in Flanders.
