European Running Championships 2025

Founded in January 2020 by Sam and Jasper, Trail Trash Running Crew has grown into a welcoming community of about 100 members united by a love for Brussels’ scenic trails. Guided by captains Jan and Yasko, the crew meets every other Sunday near the Sonian Forest to explore routes ranging from 10 to 100 kilometers at a steady pace. Their runs wind through historic and natural landmarks like the Zoniënwoud Loop and Tervuren Royal Park, blending the city’s rich heritage with vibrant woodland scenery. Emphasizing inclusivity and connection over competition, Trail Trash invites runners of all levels and backgrounds to join, fostering friendships that extend beyond the trails. This medium-sized crew reflects Brussels’ multicultural spirit and contributes a unique voice to the city’s running culture by celebrating nature on the metropolis’s outskirts. Trail Trash not only offers shared adventures but also participates in local races, strengthening community bonds through endurance and shared passion.

Community Run

BXL Run Crew started in January 2018 when two friends, Camille and Tim, wanted to create something different for runners in Brussels. They call themselves a run crew, not a club, and focus on connecting people and exploring the city together. Every week, they organize runs that are open to everyone and aim to make running social and enjoyable, not just about speed or distance.
