Meet outside Leuven town hall between 07:15 to 07:25 and join colleagues in a 5K run through the streets of Leuven. We will have two paced groups to cater for all level of runners. The route takes you from Grote Markt with the town hall and St Peter's Church, past M-Museum Leuven and the university library to the Great Beguinage.
