Take on La DOyenne at the 2019 Liège-Bastogne-Liège Challenge

On Saturday April 27th, challenge yourself by taking on Liège-Bastogne-Liège’s legendary climbs, then watch the Pro's!

The ultimate challenge is to complete the full 274 km distance, nearly identical to the one the pros will cover on race day the following day! The 273 km course is identical to the pro race the next day, packing over 5,200 metres of climbing.

Don’t worry, two shorter distances, of 75 and 154 km are also on offer. Climb your way to the top of the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons, the Côte de Saint-Nicolas and the legendary Redoute to follow in the footsteps of cycling’s greatest champions.

On Sunday you will find out how you compare against Philippe Gilbert, Bob Jungels and Alejandro Valverde’s heroic efforts on your way to adding Liège-Bastogne-Liège to your very own list of achievements!

Just like the pro classic, the Gran Fondo attracts a colourful, international bunch. Last year over 50 nationalities took to the start of the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Challenge. Many Italians, Spaniards, Dutch, Brits and of course many Belgians all considered this event as one of the biggest challenges on their cycling calendar.
