PHILIPPE GILBERT CAUBERG CLASSIC

PHILIPPE GILBERT CAUBERG CLASSIC returns for its third edition on 5 September 2026, offering a recreational toertocht around Valkenburg and the Cauberg. Riders assemble routes by linking four distinct loops that traverse the rolling hills of South Limburg and finish on the famous Cauberg climb. The event is presented in association with Philippe Gilbert and blends sportive riding with a mass-participation festival atmosphere. Routes suit a wide range of abilities, from casual riders to dedicated fanatics who can choose the longest loop.

The format allows participants to choose preset distances or combine loops to tailor their ride, with GPX downloads and on-course signage provided to aid navigation. Organised by The PEPr Company B.V., practical information including regulations, route maps and registration is published on the official event website and registration portal. The finish area at the Cauberg includes hospitality and a DJ, creating a lively post-ride atmosphere for riders and spectators. Exact start windows, timing and some logistical details are set out on the organiser's information pages and may be subject to change.
