About this event
The Trail des Cisterciens winds through the rolling countryside near Tangissart, offering three challenging distances that explore the historic Cistercian abbey trails of Walloon Brabant. The 65km route with 1400m of climbing provides a serious test for experienced runners, while the 38km and 21km options deliver similarly technical terrain on a more manageable scale. Late March timing means unpredictable Belgian weather adds an extra dimension to the challenge. The courses follow ancient paths connecting former abbey sites, blending cultural heritage with natural forest trails and open farmland. With elevation profiles that belie the region's gentle reputation, this event rewards those who come prepared for sustained climbs and technical descents through wooded valleys.
