Run Brussels with a local

The must-run routes

• Bois de la Cambre — the big green lung at the end of Avenue Louise, soft ground, a lake loop and shaded avenues — the meeting point for Brussels runners, partly closed to traffic at weekends.
• The Sonian Forest (Forêt de Soignes) — the vast UNESCO-listed beech forest south of the city: from Rouge-Cloître, marked 5, 10 and 20 km loops under the trees, car-free — the home ground of distance runners.
• Parc du Cinquantenaire — the flat loop of about 1.5 km around the arch and colonnades, lit and fast-rolling — perfect for tempo work or a quick run right in the centre.
• The canal towpath from Porte de Ninove — the flat, open towpath along the canal, car-free and traffic-light-free — the ideal route to stretch your stride and rack up the kilometres.
• The Green Walk & Parc de Woluwe — the 63 km green belt that rings Brussels in seven sections — ponds, parks and the old railway line 160 — a green, rolling Brussels far from the traffic.

Run like a local

Your 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.

Self-guided routes

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.

• Bois de la Cambre — the lake loop≈ 1.5 km loop (extend at will)

  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)

• Sonian Forest — Rouge-Cloître marked loops5, 10 or 20 km (marked loops)

  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

• Parc du Cinquantenaire → Brussels Park≈ 1.5 km loop — up to ≈ 2.3 km linked

  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)

• The old railway line 160 (Delta → Stockel)≈ 5.9 km one-way (≈ 11.8 km round trip)

  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)
