The top 25% in each category will qualify for the UCI Gravel World Championships. This 25% is calculated on the actual number of starters, not on the number of riders entered. The results are ranked on the basis of the time ridden.

  • 96 km = official qualifying distance for men 60+ and women 50+
  • 147 km = official qualifying distance for elite men/women, men 19-59 years old and women 19-49 years old

Along the course, you’ll find three waste zones and two feed zones, which you’ll pass during every lap. Below you can find an overview of their exact locations on the route. Please make sure to use the waste zones! The Flanders Legacy Gravel passes through beautiful natural areas, let’s keep them that way. Respect nature and don’t leave anything behind outside the designated zones.

During Flanders Legacy Gravel, the course is secured from start to finish, but only for riders within the official race bubble.

Red Flag: Start of the race

  • Leads the first rider.
  • Once underway, the race has officially started.

Green Flag : End of the race

  • You may continue riding, but:
    • Follow traffic rules.
    • No official support or course protection.
    • Ride recreationally.

It is possible to sell or take over a registration, but this must be done before Monday October 13.

It is important to contact us in advance via info@golazo.com so we can transfer the registration correctly and completely.

No substitutions will be accepted after 13 October (as well as on site). Exchanges are possible only for entries in the age groups.

The organiser advises everyone not to make any strenuous efforts for which they are not physically prepared. Make sensible decisions about the pace you want to impose on your body. Those who aim to train or compete at high intensity should have a check-up by a (sports) doctor every year.

The submission of medical certificates is not mandatory. It is up to the sportsman himself to decide how to deal with the information he receives during a medical examination. The organiser does not bear any responsibility in this respect.
