Pajotse Parel Trail

About the race

The Pajotse Parel Trail of Atletiekclub Pajottenland sets off from the Processiestraat in Gooik and heads out into the rolling Pajottenland. There are four distances — 6, 11, 22 and 33 kilometres — with the longest climbing to some 440 metres of elevation gain: not a flat village race, then, but a course that seeks out the hills between the villages. For children there are short races on the track, from 400 metres up. Every participant takes home a prize in kind and the first three on each distance are honoured. The race was formerly called the Evillas Tour. The combination of club facilities as a base and genuine trail terrain around them keeps the event small in scale without losing any of its challenge.
