Welcome the heart of Europe
For the second time, the She Runs – Active Girls’ lead will take place in Brussels. The capital of Belgian and host of major European Institutions is well known for its Grand-Place, its Atomium or its Manneken-Pis, but despite its European importance, it stays a remarkably small, easy-going, and human-sized city for all its importance.
