Ghent running tour

Discover Ghent from a unique perspective on this relaxed and engaging running tour, where light exercise meets history and local stories. This tour is not about speed, but about experiencing the city at a jogger’s pace while covering more ground than a walking tour.

After a short introduction and warm-up, we head towards the historic centre of Ghent. No two runs are ever the same: your guide adapts the route on the day, adding small surprises along the way. We pass many of the city’s highlights and make regular stops for explanations and photo opportunities, so you can fully enjoy the experience.

You will run past Ghent’s iconic three medieval towers — Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, the Ghent Belfry, and Saint Nicholas’ Church — before continuing through lively places such as the Vrijdagmarkt with the statue of Jacob van Artevelde. The route also takes us along the beautiful Graslei and Korenlei quays, offering some of the most picturesque views of the city.

The pace is comfortable and inclusive, suitable for recreational runners. We finish the tour with a gentle cool-down in the city centre, leaving you energised, inspired, and with a fresh view of Ghent.
