Trail du BW, live.

Trail running in the Ardennes brabançonnes

Trail du BW is a December trail running event in Chaumont-Gistoux, in the Belgian province of Brabant Wallon, with routes from a kids' race up to 100 km.

Trail du BW is a day of trail races in Brabant Wallon, organised by les Blancs Gilets on Saturday 5 December 2026 from the André Docquier sports complex on avenue du Ronvau in Chaumont-Gistoux. The organiser sets it in the Ardennes brabançonnes, an area often seen as fast and runnable, where the trail spirit is still firmly rooted. On the longer routes, the aid stations are set up in heated halls so participants can refuel in the dry.

The courses cross woodland, countryside paths and even some local cobbles. The ground is mostly sandy, but in December the organiser warns that mud may well be part of the day. The 100 km, 85 km and 62 km are point to point routes, with a free shuttle back for those who want it. The 42 km and 25 km are loops, and the 12 km and 6 km stay almost entirely in the woods next to the Ronvau site.

Starts are spread across the day. The 100 km, with 1750 m of climbing, leaves at 5:00, then the 85 km at 7:00, the 62 km at 8:00, the 42 km at 9:00, the 25 km at 10:00 and the 12 km at 11:00. The 6 km starts at 15:00 and the Kids Trail over 1.6 km at 15:15. Walkers and Nordic walkers can enter the 12 km and 25 km, starting 5 minutes after the field. Friends and family can wait at the sports complex, where every route finishes with a final aid station.

A participant can choose to share their own live position on Livebib from the phone they carry, so people at home can follow them along the route. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from the organiser.
