This is a nice, green option about 2 miles south of Brussels Park. Using the paths of the two parks, it is possible to put together ~2.5 fairly hilly miles. The Parc de Forest is a graceful, grassy slant. Parc Duden is also hilly, with more rugged forest paths. For a longer run, enjoy the residential streets of the Forest neighborhood. To run to Parc de Forest from central Brussels, take Rue de Regence to the Palais de Justice, and then Rue de l’Hotel de Monnaies, which is ~2 miles.

An extensive canal system runs from just west of the center of Brussels north and south. The most pleasant sections close to the center are from the Porte de Ninove.
Bois de Cambre, 2 miles from the city, is a little larger and more rugged than Parc Bruxelles and Cinquantenaire. Lots of lovely paths, including ~1 mile around the lake.
In the eastern part of Brussels, a nice run between Rodebeek and Auderghem, connecting several parks: Parc Malou, Parc des Sources, & Parc de Woluwe. Wooded & open terrain, a couple of small lakes, Château Malou, and additional paths in the parks.
A worth-it destination run just south and east of Brussels. Vast network trails in this 10,000+ acre area of parks, arboretums, & nature preseves. A highlight is the Royal Walk in the Tervuren Arboretum. Numerous marked walks & running loops.
The best running near the Brussels Expo is a series of parks, which added together are ~5 miles from one end to the other. This area is north of the city.
