We start at the board of running routes opposite the sports hall at Hoge Heirweg, Sint-Martens-Latem, where you have the choice between 3 running routes/distances:

-Green loop is 5 km

-Blue loop is 7.5 km

-Red loop is 10 km

Be sure to pay attention to the 3 colors of the arrows along the way so you don't miss the turnoff for the blue loop and later the red loop.

We start through some avenues with unpaved ground: Kapitteldreef, Muldersdreef, and the Rote Beukendreef, where you pass by some very beautiful trees.

Green goes a little further to the right here. If you follow blue, you will reach the picturesque Deurle via the blue arrows. After the village center, continue following the blue arrows, and you'll return towards Latem through some avenues and our famous beautiful lime tree. You will encounter the green route again along the way. After a few avenues, you will reach the golf course. A bit further on, the blue (which is back to green in the meantime) route leads back to the sports hall, but those who want to follow the red arrows should turn left here.

This way, you will run a stretch along the beautiful golf course. Afterwards, you will follow the Bosstraat, Eikeldreef, and Berkenbosdreef, where you are already on the grounds of the Latemse Meersen. A little further, you can see the meadows of the Meersen through the trees, where in summer, among other things, orchids and other wildflowers bloom. The Leie river can also be seen in the distance, and if you are an early morning runner, you might even spot the deer.

Moreover, you will run back along the Heidebergen and the Bosstraat and return via some slow paths to the Latemstraat, where you pass by a charming chapel with a pond. There you are back on the green route and will soon return to the starting point, the sports hall.
