Trail Running in Belgium: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Located in Western Europe, Belgium covers an area of just over 30,000 square kilometers, and shares borders with the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, and France to the southwest. To the northwest the North Sea lies off its coast. There are thick forests on rolling hills and rugged and rocky terrain in the Ardennes, and the plateau of the High Fens in the east of Belgium, all excellent for trail running.

Sublime natural scenery

The varying landscapes of Belgium are stuffed with stunning views and natural beauty. The Ardennes is a region of rolling hills and mountains cloaked in extensive and lush forest where rivers cut through the range. The High Fens is a plateau that is a protected nature reserve and is home to Botrange, the highest point in the whole of Belgium.

Rich and varied culture

Belgium both shares a national culture that connects all linguistic differences as well as regional cultures that are integral aspects of each part of the country. Central to its national culture is its world-class cuisine and fine beers, while almost every city and town in the country holds festivals, some of which date back centuries, celebrating the nation and each region.

Routes for everyone

The running trails that zigzag across Belgium not only offer an exhilarating way to experience nature, but are open to a large range of runners of different levels of ability. There are easier trails that with lighter hills and less technical aspects, but also more challenging terrain of steeper hills, difficult trails and longer runs. There is a trail for every runner.

Belgium is home to a maritime climate like most of the northwest of Europe, with cool winters and comfortably warm summers, along with rainfall during all seasons.
