Nevens was born in Mortsel, the son of cross-country runner and steeplechaser Leon Nevens (1928-1992).[2] In the course of his career Marc Nevens competed at senior level in every distance from 800 metres to 5000 metres. He represented his country in the men's 1500 metres at the 1976 Summer Olympics.
