Vijfkerkenloop

About the race

The Vijfkerkenloop is a nature run in Wortegem-Petegem, reaching its seventeenth edition in 2027. Start and finish are at the municipal estate de Ghellinck in Elsegem. The routes are around 60 percent unpaved and therefore also suit trail runners. In 2026 there was a choice of a 5.4 km fun run, a 10.8 km recreational run and a 10 mile performance run, plus a 600 metre kids' run; the 2027 programme is yet to follow. There's chip timing, a podium for each distance, and a goodie bag for every participant. Same-day registration wasn't possible in 2026.
