Immerse yourself in the epic atmosphere of the Race Across Belgium: immerse yourself in its history and mythical courses, on the roads that have shaped international cycling. One question remains... will you be able to master the cobbles?
CHOOSE YOUR DISTANCE
No matter the distance, it's the adventure that counts.
The RACE ACROSS BENELUX offers several types of route: loops around a single Basecamp for the 500, 300 and 200km, and a line course for the 1000km.
To complete your challenge, you will be asked to complete 1 or 2 different loops. You'll find your belongings and loved ones on the Basecamp, the only place where you can receive assistance.
