Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Brussels is greener than people expect, and it runs beautifully. A few minutes from the centre and you go from the cobbles of the Grand-Place to the soft ground of the Bois de la Cambre, then into the vast UNESCO-listed Sonian Forest, where you can run for kilometres under the beech trees without crossing a single road. Early in the morning, before the cafés open and while the light slides across the Ixelles ponds, the city shows a different side of itself. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the lake loop in the Bois de la Cambre, the marked trails of Rouge-Cloître in the Sonian Forest, the flat, well-lit loop of the Parc du Cinquantenaire, the canal towpath from Porte de Ninove, or a section of the Green Walk that rings the whole city. Not a sightseeing coach, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace, who knows the good paths, the green shortcuts and the right tempo.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Brussels, book a run on TourMyRun: a local runner welcomes you and their group at a meeting point, and you set off along their route, at your own pace, for the length of a run — often around an hour. You never run alone, and there's nothing for you to organise.

Get the free guideYour guide isn't a service provider — they're a Brusseleir who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, pick the route to suit the time of day — the Ixelles ponds at first light, the Bois de la Cambre in the quiet hours, the Sonian Forest to escape — and share the Brussels you won't find in guidebooks. Many of our Brussels guides are running-club members and sports students who know their training loops by heart. You leave with a real memory — and often a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Brussels? A local is ready to go. Rather than running alone in a city you don't know, you join a resident who already runs this ground: they open up their route, match the pace to yours, and show you the city on the move.
Not here for the performance? Many guides offer an easy-paced discovery run — a gentle jog, almost at walking pace, to see the city without racing through it. You stop at the viewpoints and take the time to look: it's a way to discover Brussels on the move with a local, at a pace that lets you take everything in.
Yes. On TourMyRun, a run is led by a local who welcomes a small group of runners: you join others — visitors or locals — for a shared group run, without ever having to run alone. It's the group of a TourMyRun run, led by a resident — not an outside club or crew.
Public, well-known routes you can run on your own — a solid plan B to get moving right away. But the best of TourMyRun is still discovering them with a local who takes you, at your pace.
A flat, rolling loop on soft ground around the lake, shaded by tall trees. The starting point for Brussels runners — and the park runs straight on into the Sonian Forest to go longer.
Start : Park entrance at the end of Avenue Louise (Ixelles)
Three marked loops (green 5 km, blue 10 km, red 20 km) starting from the 15th-century abbey, entirely under the beech trees and car-free. Changing rooms and showers at the ADEPS centre.
Start : Rouge-Cloître, Chaussée de Wavre 2057, Auderghem
A flat, well-lit loop around the arch and colonnades, extendable to Brussels Park (Royal Palace, Parliament) via the Squares district — ideal on weekdays or early morning.
Start : Under the Cinquantenaire arch (Etterbeek)
A former railway line turned flat, walker- and jogger-only path through a leafy Brussels. Extend it to Malou Park and Woluwe Park for a proper, quiet outing.
Start : Delta station (Auderghem)
