About the Event

Embrace the true spirit of spring cycling as the legendary roads of Flanders come alive for the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Cyclo on March 1, 2026. This iconic event kicks off the season, letting you Feel Like A Pro by conquering the same punishing cobbles and fabled climbs as the elite peloton just days before. Choose your challenge from four epic distances, starting in Ninove or the legendary Kuipke in Ghent, each route meticulously crafted to deliver a pure Flandrien experience. From the jarring stones of Paddestraat to the legendary duo of the Muur van Geraardsbergen and the Bosberg, this is a ride steeped in cycling history where every pedal stroke writes a personal story.

More than a grueling test, the event is a vibrant festival on wheels, complete with well-stocked feed zones, mechanical support, and a finish-line atmosphere that celebrates every participant's achievement. Your registration includes a refundable timing chip deposit, which can be exchanged for a unique commemorative medal or official t-shirt upon completing your chosen classic. With early bird pricing available and the option to ride in support of the inclusive Younited Cycling initiative, this cyclo offers a profoundly rewarding experience for riders of all levels. Prepare to test your legs, earn your stripes, and officially welcome the new cycling year on the hallowed ground where legends are made.

About Ghent

Ghent is a city in East Flanders in Belgium. Ghent is a city with a population of 265,000 in 2020, with rich history. During the Middle Ages, Ghent was one of the richest and most powerful cities in Europe. The impact of this rich past can be clearly seen when viewing the imposing architecture of churches and the houses of rich traders. The city centre is restored, and breathes the atmosphere of a thriving late-medieval city state. It is free of cars, so it is a very welcoming and open area.
