Liège is a major city in the Belgian municipality of Wallonia, at the confluence of the Meuse and Ourthe rivers.  A cultural and commercial hub, Liège is in the French-speaking part Belgium. The situation for running in Liège is centered on riverfront trails and multi-use paths that are part of numerous longer-distance cycling routes traversing Wallonia. Our thanks to Raoul Spronken of Maastricht Running Tours for his help with this guide!

One of the best places to run in Liège is our ‘Runseeing‘ tour, which showcases river paths, parks, and the historical centre. The most scenic of the riverfront routes is the path along the Meuse headed north. It’s also possible to run south for many km along the Ourthe River, or east on the Ligne 38 Velo route.

Runners should also consult our guide to Maastricht, Netherlands, which is only 30 km north and is a 1/2 hour train ride.
