The Vondelhof Trail begins and ends at the Vondelhof in Haaltert, with Maspoe organizing the race from Vondelen 14. Participants can select from 12 km, 21 km, or 30 km routes, all designed as trail courses rather than road races. Over 70% of the course is off-road, making it a day for trail shoes, not fast, flat asphalt. The event takes place in autumn and is in its second edition. The route includes singletrack, unpaved forest paths, gravel roads, mud, and some climbing; organizers advise that good grip is important. It is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. The race is cup-free, requiring runners to bring their own cup for water at aid stations. Streets near the start will be closed to traffic, parking is restricted to surrounding streets, and arriving on foot or by bike is encouraged. Later in the day, Haaltert Loopt offers 4 km, 8 km, and 12 km options with the same setup.

20km door het Zoniënwoud is a 20 km forest race in Auderghem, on the edge of Brussels. It is a trail run, with over 90% of the route unpaved. The course is fully marked, and runners receive one aid station. The race carries a UTMB Index 20K listing and features 370 meters of climbing, suitable for those seeking a short, genuine off-road challenge. The route remains primarily within the Zoniënwoud, utilizing gravel paths and single tracks with some steep ascents. It is entirely traffic-free, marked by orange arrows and large signs, and limited to 1,500 participants across four start waves. The event includes a walking option for children up to 12 and dogs, offered free of charge, contributing to a wider local atmosphere compared to a race exclusively for runners.

The 21 km de Dour is a road half marathon held in Dour, Belgium. Alongside the full 21.0975 km distance, there is also a shorter 8 km race. It is part of the 21KM.be challenge and is considered one of the most difficult races in that series. The half marathon is noted for its most technical course. Though the event is only five years old, it attracts a large field, with approximately 3,000 runners participating in a recent edition. The route crosses Dour and its environs exclusively on roads. It is not a course suited for an easy, flat run. Participants face frequent accelerations, ascents, and changes in pace, making strategy, focus, and consistent effort as critical as outright speed. The 8 km race is presented as very quick, offering a faster option to the challenging half marathon. Aid stations are positioned along the route, and the finish takes place at a new sports complex. Amenities include City Wash, a sauna, massage services, a finisher shirt, a commemorative medal, and awards for various categories.
