Ferme Toer Trail 2027

January 30 & 31, 2027

Ready for a weekend full of trail fun?

What?

Quiet fields, forest roads, even more unpaved paths, and above all, many beautiful views await you on the Ferme Tour Trail.

To find them, we head to the hilly Binkom, a borough of Lubbeek in Flemish Brabant in the Hageland region.

In short, a 'ferm toerke' where you'd best get your trail shoes out.

The first three editions were a huge success. That’s why we’re organizing a full trail weekend in 2027, featuring six different distances.

Course

This part of the Hageland is sometimes called “Little Switzerland.” All routes feature mostly unpaved trails through wooded areas, fields, and along a few scenic climbs. The 23- and 32-km routes include a river crossing.

For the longest distances, trail running shoes are a must. You can easily complete the 6- and 11-kilometer races with road running shoes.

Athletes with a VAL number who wish to participate in the KVV should indicate this when registering. If you do not have a VAL number, you may still participate in these distances.

The start and finish are located at the Ferme Koer event location.

Curious about the route? We don't share it online because it involves private land. Participants will receive it by email about a week before the finish.

Flanders Trail and Long-Distance Trail Championship

For the second year in a row, the Ferme Toer Trail is also the KVV Trail, the official Flemish Championship. Riders will compete for the coveted Flemish champion’s jersey on both the short and long trails:

25 km – KVV Short Trail

55 km – KVV Long Trail

Anyone can participate in these races. So you don't need a VAL or KBF number to register.

Would you like to participate in the official Flanders Championship? If so, you must have a valid VAL or KBF number. Enter this number when you register. You will then be automatically included in the KVV standings.

Don't have a VAL or KBF number? Then just participate in the open race. You'll run the same course and compete in the same race, but you won't be eligible for the KVV standings or the Flemish champion's jersey.

The KVV Trail is organized in collaboration with Atletiek Vlaanderen. Would you like to learn more about their trail running activities?
