The Ter Kerst Forest and Farm Estate in Hooglede now boasts a renewed running loop with two distinct routes of 1km and 2.5km, complemented by an athletics track.

A new running loop has been established at the Ter Kerst Forest and Farm Estate in Hooglede. The previous 5km loop, which had fallen into disuse since 2021 due to illogical turns and low usage, has been replaced by two new, clearly signposted routes that partially overlap.
The new loop offers a choice between a 1km loop and a 2.5km loop. The 1km loop is specifically equipped with markers every 100 meters, making it ideal for interval training. Additionally, a 400-meter athletics track is available across Koolskampstraat for those who prefer training on a track.
These updates, supported by Sport Vlaanderen guidelines, provide recreational joggers, focused trainers, and anyone looking to build their fitness with various options within the estate.
