Campusrun 2026

Students from the sports program, students of the student associations and Stuvo (Student Support) join forces to organise a new edition of the campusrun. We run through the Ghent city centre, along the canals and through some of our college campuses.

The Campusrun is not just another running event. It is all about movement, fun and togetherness, without classification or performance pressure. The 5k and 10k routes take you through several campuses of our college, with plenty of entertainment along the way.

There is a fun run at 19:00. We encourage everyone to dress up in the most hilarious, sporty and fun way. The particpant with the best costume will win a wonderful price and will be remembered in our hearts forever. 

The last group of the day is the BeSafe / Lawijt Social Run at 19:15. Guided by the students who started BeSafe Alarm, you will run a slitely different route through some of the campuses and the night life area of Ghent. Learn more about Be Safe: Be Safe

Everyone is welcome to participate and you can choose between several beautiful and often traffic-free routes, each starting and finishing at campus Leeuwstraat.

You can choose a start times between 18:00 and 19:15 and participate at the special student rate of €5.

From 17:30 the bar in the garden of campus Leeuwstraat opens and you are welcome to choose the best seat as a supporter or to register for the run last minute...

For every participant, there is a goodiebag and you recieve a drinking voucher for the garden bar. 

This year’s campusrun is putting Moodspace in the spotlight. You can sign up as a Moodspace Runner and help support students’ mental wellbeing. That way, you’ll not only boost your own wellbeing during the run, but you’ll also give others a helping hand. 

You can already follow our preparations on this facebook page. 

With special thanks for the support to Associatie UGent, Bonami, Brouwerij Roman, Be Safe / Lawijt, Red Bull, Aoste, Xavies' Granola en Sport Vlaanderen.
