Trains
The nearest train station is in “Boitsfort”
Since2023, the EuropaTrail Brussels is part of a European tour of trail running events accessible by train called TTT or trail by train tour.
The TTT brings together events that are concerned with the environment. What makes them special? Their starting points are all close to a train station. No need for a car! More serenity and less carbon dioxide! An original ranking is on the way. Become the best “train taker” trailer!

Eco-responsability
12 ECO-GESTURES
Since 2018, the non-profit organization Sport&Santé promotes 12 eco-gestures: 5 eco-gestures suggested to the participants and 7 eco-gestures that the organization commits to pursue.
Our organisation tries to organize an event that is as eco-responsible as possible. Although there is still a long way to go, the bar is set a little higher every year. The 12 eco-gestures, shared between organizer and participants, are the ecological roadmap of event.
Carsharing or use public transport: We want to aim for the lowest possible carbon print and the travel of the runners to the event is the biggest concern. In addition to stimulating the use of public transport and carpooling, the event invests in the purchase of more than a thousand metro/tram tickets.
Don’t waste on aid stations: this is a piece of advice that is given to the runners but also applies to the organizers. After the last runner has passed, excess stocks are either used on another supply or passed on to an organisation such as the Salvation Army that fights against poverty.
Respect the green spaces you cross: Brussels Environment with its Walloon (Eaux et Forêts) and Flemish (Natuur en bos) sisters ask the users of the forest to respect the fauna and flora, for example by staying on the paths provided by the organisation.
Reuse and bring your own cup: finally zero waste supplies! Just bring your own cup or folding cup (obligatory equipment) to avoid thousands of cups on the ground. It’s a trademark of the EuropaTrail: take your personal cup to be served at the refreshments on the course or at the finish.
Support an ecological or humanitarian work: the EuropaTrail, via the ASBL sport et santé, directly supports several organizations (Unicef, CNCD, Solidarité Grands Froids …) but the runners also have the possibility via the registration form to make a donation to a good cause.
Medal and t-shirt on request: in order not to produce unnecessarily, medals – for example – are optional.
Limiting and sorting waste: Selective sorting is therefore planned in the village and at the refreshment.
Work with the educational community ands involve young people : The event collaborates with the world of education and in particular the students of CERIA and its safety section.
Recycle the material: the advertising tarpaulins are transformed into storage bags or “original” bags given to the winners of the races.
Make locally: it is not easy to produce everything locally but we try. We favour local production. Trophies, for example, are made locally.
Destine the revenues to local associations: Scout units or the non-profit organisations are also supported to compensate for their support to the event.
