Running is a great way to explore a city as you will be able to cover a bit more ground than when you are doing a walking tour. It will give you the opportunity to see Ghent through the eyes of a local and discover hidden gems that might otherwise not be accessible. You are teamed up with a running buddy who will happily guide you and give you hints and tips on how to discover this city.
Although the word "running" might scare some people off, this is not a race. It is intended for those who want to get a different experience and the pace will be adjusted to one's fitness level. This is in the first place a sightseeing tour.
After a brief introduction and warm up, we will start our run towards the centre of Ghent. No run is ever the same and your guide will surprise you on the day. You will cover a lot of landmarks and make stops to take photos if you wish. Landmarks include the 3 medieval towers of Ghent such as the Cathedral. St Nicholas Church, Ghent Belfry, Vrijdagmarkt and Jacob Van Artevelde, Graanlei and Korenlei Quays and much more. We finish with a cool down in the end in the city centre.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
