Meerdaalwoud Trail 2026

Meerdaalwoud Trail starts and finishes at CultuurCentrum De Borre in Bierbeek, Belgium, then sends runners into the Meerdaalwoud forest area around town. It is a December trail-running weekend, billed by the organizers as the last trail of the year. The menu is broad for one event: short forest runs sit beside longer trail options, with distances listed from about 11 km up to 50 km depending on the day. Saturday usually carries the heavier program, including 13 km, 18 km, 27 km, 34 km, and 50 km races, while Sunday offers shorter-to-mid-distance choices such as 11 km, 19 km, and 28 km. Other listings show routes from 10 km to 43 km, with the 43 km course carrying 582 m of climbing, so runners should expect rolling forest terrain rather than a flat road-style effort. Entry pricing starts at the lower end for the short races and rises for the ultra-distance option, with reduced rates tied to Ultra Trail membership.
