Smugglers Path 2027

On May 29, 2027, the eighth edition of Smugglers' Path Gravel Ride will take cyclists on an unforgettable journey through Belgium’s scenic countryside. This unique gravel ride offers two challenging distances: 110 kilometers and 165 kilometers, both featuring over 90% off-road terrain that showcases some of Europe's finest gravel routes.
Participants can look forward to a festival-like atmosphere with goody bags and barista-made coffee at the start line. The event is designed for those who appreciate adventure on two wheels, providing separate group starts based on distance choice. Cyclists will enjoy extensive supply points along the route, ensuring they stay fueled throughout their ride. At the finish line, cold beer and a luxurious hamburger await to celebrate your achievement.
For those seeking an extended experience, weekend tickets are available from May 28 through May 30. On Friday evening, revel in a warm-up ride followed by an unforgettable BBQ dinner under the stars. The festival atmosphere continues with live music and DJ sets that keep the energy high throughout the night. Saturday morning starts with a hearty breakfast before hitting the gravel roads once more. Post-ride festivities include pizza from a food truck and another lively party to unwind.
The weekend package also offers an exclusive upgrade: the XL Smugglers Weekend, which includes camping starting Thursday evening at 6 PM in the smugglers cave, complete with dinner and a warm-up ride of approximately 100 kilometers on Friday morning. The event promises not only thrilling rides but also unforgettable social experiences for all participants.
