The story

Same country. A whole new world.

Most people only see Belgium from the car. But the most beautiful routes often lie in places you'd never expect.

Crossing Belgium is a 4-day multisport competition in expedition style, made up of around fifteen stages from the coast deep into the Ardennes, cutting through the most beautiful landscapes.

Each day consists of different stages where teamwork, perseverance and adventure take centre stage.

Along the way you sleep in unique locations, pick up new techniques and experience Belgium in a completely different way.

At the end you don't just reach the finish - you walk away with a story you'll carry your whole life.

I've been building expeditions in deserts, mountain ranges and on ice for 30 years. Crossing Belgium is the first time we deploy that full playbook on home soil: a true multisport race with a real ranking, at a scale Belgium hasn't seen before.

We know where the surprises are, where you can win time and where you'd better race smart. You don't. And that is exactly what makes a first edition unforgettable.

These four days pull more out of you than you thought possible. Not because it's hard, but because it's real. Step out of your comfort zone, we make sure you reach the finish safely.

I've tested raids and obstacle races for years. What makes Crossing Belgium different? A genuine ranking, four days of adventure, and a story that outlives the podium ceremony.
