BELGIUM: The Urban Trail Series 2025.

 If you are wanting to explore the country in a novel way, why not sign up to an Urban Trail.  These are held four times a year in Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp and Mechelen and are a fabulous way to see the City and take a peek at some otherwise unseen locations too.

Pop on your trainers and walk, jog or run (or a combination of all three!) your way around the 7km or 12km route. This is not a timed event and can be taken at your own pace.

My husband, our 9 year old daughter and I took part in the Brussels 12km route this weekend and passed through the Museum of Illusions, three nightclubs (before 11am), Brussels Parliamentary Building, Wolf (which cemented a decision on our lunch that day) and the Jardin de Hospice, to name a few locations. It was an incredible experience.

Registrations are now open for Ghent Urban Trail, which is to be held in October 2025. You can register in advance on line or if you are a last minute decision maker, you can still register until 08:00 on site on the day of the event!
