Rene Dillen Classic

Honor a cycling tradition and embrace the crisp late-winter air of Flanders at the Rene Dillen Classic on February 28, 2026. This cherished semi-classic event offers two beautifully crafted routes—70km and 90km—starting from the Sporthal Niel and winding through the iconic, challenging landscapes of the Belgian countryside. The flexible start window allows riders to begin their journey at their own pace, enjoying a personal adventure or the camaraderie of a group on roads steeped in cycling history. The atmosphere is one of authentic club spirit and local passion, where federation members and visiting enthusiasts alike are welcomed into a fold of classic Flemish cycling culture.

More than just a ride, it's a tribute to the sport's grassroots, complete with well-planned supplies, optional digital route files, and the warm, communal finish back at the sports hall. With affordable entry, day insurance for non-members, and a special "Lady Fun Cycling Tour" recognition, the event emphasizes inclusivity and pure riding enjoyment. It’s an invitation to turn the pedals on quiet country roads, test your early-season legs, and be part of a living tradition where every kilometer tells a story of dedication and love for the bike. Register on-site for a day of genuine cycling in the heart of Belgium.
