The Track.
Rolling/Wide -> With an amazing Crowd at each laps.
2,5km - 24m D+
This year again we're racing on the full loop of the Bois de la Cambre, the most iconic cycling circuit in the heart of Brussels.
We chose this track for its accessibility, especially for beginners. It's the total opposite of a short, technical crit: in the Bois de la Cambre, it’s easier to stay in the draft, and we hope this means more riders will make it to the finish without getting lapped.
This is your chance to experience amateur racing at its best and right in the heart of Brussels.
WHEN ROAD MEET FIXED GEAR
BXLCRIT began as the first fixed gear race in Brussels, underground, unsanctioned, unchained! Now hundreds of road cyclists are experiencing what fixed gear racers have felt through crit racing all around the world!
In Brussels on 12.05, these two worlds unite to share the love of crit racing.

Brussels's Most famous Cycling loop !
The Bois de la Cambre is the most famous cycling segment in Brussels, known for its rich history : Tour de France 2019, 24h Vélo, BXL Tour… But due to the park’s high traffic, high speed cycling is no longer allowed.
But once a year, during the BXLCRIT Bois de la Cambre, you can go full gas on a secured and closed circuit.
How to register for the races ?
1. Select your ticket between ROAD MEN, ROAD WOMEN, FIXED GEAR MEN/WOMEN.
2. Answers the asked question about your perceived level.
3. After the event is sold out, we will assign you to the different categories based on your answers, cross-checked with the overall level of the participants.
