French Borders 2026 takes place on 2026-09-19 in Herbeumont. Ride 110 / 140 km of gravel with up to 2100 m of climbing.
Prepare for the French Borders 2026, where riders face a choice between two challenging routes: the longer 140 km option with a substantial 2100 meters of elevation, or the 110 km route which still presents a significant 1450 meters of climbing. Both distances offer a robust test of endurance and skill, ensuring a rewarding experience for gravel enthusiasts. The terrain promises an engaging mix, with 80 percent of the route taking riders off-road, navigating through varied gravel paths, singletrack, and dirt sections that define the adventurous spirit of the event. Located in Herbeumont, this region in Belgium is renowned for its scenic beauty and demanding topography, providing a perfect backdrop for a challenging gravel ride. The event is organised by Smugglers and kicks off on September 19, 2026, concluding on September 20, 2026, starting from the Station de Trail at Avenue de René Demarteau, 6887 Herbeumont. Entry for this immersive experience is priced at €69,00.
