Belgium has a lot of walking routes. In the serie of pelgrim routes to the Cathedral of Scherpenheuvel there are several routes. This one runs from Landen to Scherpheuvel over almost 40 kilometers in the hills of Hageland, Flemish Brabant. Rural areas change into woods over hills on dirt roads and small paved streets.

The start is at the gate of the Rietgors in Landen and runs to the gate of the Cathedral of Scherpenheuvel.

Start at the parking lot of the Gasilachkogelbahn in Sölden, from there to the Windachtal. Left up to the Kleberalm. Then up to the Söldenkogel. Then to the Hochstubai hut on the Wildkarspitze (3,173m) and to the Hoher Nebelkogel. Down the ladder to heaven and around the Warenkaregg in the direction of the Hildesheimer Hütte. Before that over the Windachferner up to the Eisjochbahn mountain station. Via the Gaiskarferner to the Hildesheimer Hütte (2,899m). From there over the Gamsplatzl to the Siegerlandhütte (2,710m). Then descent back to Sölden over the valley floor of the Windachtal.

The Frankenweg is well-known among hikers in Germany, so I find it odd that I can't find any speed records for the entire 520 km trail. Now, this could just be my dodgy German skills or the fact that 520 km (About 320 miles) is a nasty distance for speed.

There are precious few routes in Berlin, but we are actually close to another country, so why not run to it? Rather than specify a single route, here's the challenge: Get to Poland the fastest. Standard FKT rules apply, except you can take whatever route you like so long as you start at the Brandenburger Tor and end on the Oderbrücke Hohenwutzen.

The attached GPX file is apparently the most direct runnable route, but your mileage may vary (literally).
