Fancy putting your walking skills to the test? In Flemish Brabant, you’ll find challenging walks and trails all year round. From 5 kilometres to the magical milestone of 100 kilometres and beyond. Choose a distance that suits you, put on your walking boots and let yourself be swept away by the atmosphere of the event.
Walk for Street Kids
Walking together for charity
With the Walk for Street Kids, you decide for yourself how big a challenge you want to set yourself. Four walking loops set off from De Warot in Herent, each returning to the same central point. You can combine them to make 5, 14, 22 or 33 kilometres and walk at your own pace or join a guided group. Along the way, you’ll stop off at the entertainment area for a snack and a drink. Extra motivation: participants can get sponsored to raise money for Mobile School.
Who’s it for? Pretty much everyone, really: the 5-kilometre route is suitable for young and old alike; the 14-kilometre route is aimed at recreational walkers; and the 22- or 33-kilometre routes make for a proper day of exercise.
When? 28 November 2026
Distances: 5, 14, 22 or 33 km (or a combination)
Kluishike
Winter walks in the Brabantse Wouden
Even in the middle of winter, it’s time to put on your walking boots. The Kluishike sets off from Sint-Joris-Weert into the Brabantse Wouden National Park, with the Meerdaalwoud taking centre stage. You can choose between 40, 60 or 80 kilometres. The organisers explore and test the routes in advance in various weather conditions.
Who’s it for? Experienced walkers who enjoy long distances, woodland and a winter challenge.
When? 23 January 2027 (every two years in January)
Distances: 40, 60 or 80 km
Hagelandse 101
101 kilometres, one goal
For those who fancy a serious walking challenge, there’s the Hagelandse 101. The main route takes you from Leuven on a 101-kilometre journey, with a maximum of 24 hours to reach the finish line. Quite an undertaking, then. Prefer to go a little shorter? The 55-kilometre route still offers a tough challenge. Young walkers aged 10 to 16 can join a participant for the final 11 kilometres.
Who’s it for? For keen walkers who want to push their limits, but also – thanks to the shorter routes – for anyone who wants to get a taste of the event atmosphere.
When? September
Distances: 101 km, 55 km, Kids 10+1 and Buddy Walk
Dijle 99
99 kilometres through the Dijle region
A 99-kilometre walk to be completed in a maximum of 25 hours. That is the simple yet demanding challenge of the Dijle 99. You set off from the Markt in Tervuren and embark on a long trek through the Dijleland. The organiser puts it aptly: the walk is non-competitive, but the route is certainly tough and challenging.
Who is it for? For experienced long-distance walkers who aren’t looking for a race, but rather a sporting goal to work towards.
When? Early October
Distance: 99 km
Which challenge will you choose?
5, 40, 55, 80, 99 or 101 kilometres? No matter how big your challenge is, perhaps the best thing about a walking event like this is that you don’t have to tackle it alone. Choose your trail, start training in good time and discover why Flemish Brabant is #thewalkingprovince.
