Turnhout Gravel
Turnhout Gravel kicks off the 2026 Bolero Gravel Series on Sunday, 22 March. Following the successful 2024 Belgian Championship and a fantastic first edition last year, Turnhout and its beautiful surroundings once again provide the backdrop for top-tier gravel racing.
With start and finish in Turnhout, riders face a course that captures the true spirit of the Kempen: endless sandy paths, wide forest roads and open fields where the pure gravel experience comes alive. Expect fine, crunchy gravel reminiscent of the sport’s American roots: long, fast sections where strength and flow meet.
As in previous years, Turnhout Gravel is a qualifier for the 2026 UCI Gravel World Championships. All information about the UCI Gravel World Series can be found here.
New! From this year on, Turnhout Gravel is also an official qualifier for the 2026 UEC Gravel European Championships, taking place on Sunday 30 August in Houffalize. You can find all details under “start procedure & qualification.
