Nokere Koerse is a midweek Spring Classic that is part of the UCI Pro Series. Taking place on March 19, 2025, the race precedes Milan-San Remo and offers a course suited to strong sprinters.
The 2025 Nokere Koerse differs slightly from 2024 with an approach to the final Nokereberg ascent coming from the opposite direction for safety at the end of the 188.2km route between Deinze and Nokere. The course takes a long route southeast before looping back toward Oudenaarde. The riders have to tackle six climbs before the three local loops in Nokere, each 31.7km long.
