This new gravel event from August 9-11, brought to you by Flanders Classics – the people behind the Tour of Flanders, Gent-Wevelgem and many more – promises to be a superb experience riding the heathlands of Limburg, with three distances on offer in the tranquil tracks through the National Park Hoge Kempen, the “lung of Flanders”.
Cyclingnews subscribers can win a pair of tickets to this excellent gravel event, so read on!
Plus, if Unbound in Kansas next June is on your bucket list, there’s even better news. Heathland has been awarded qualifier status for the legendary US gravel race, so serious racers in the 160km event can help book a place for the 2025 event in America.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
