PlugPlug Groote Heide sets off from Achelse Kluis in Hamont-Achel on 22 November 2026, with departures getting underway from 07:30. Organised by Count Me In for an entry fee of €25, the event equips participants with fully mapped cross-border routes. Cyclists can select between two distances, embarking on either the 79 km course or the longer 121 km loop. Approximately 70 percent of the journey features off-road surfaces, linking together quiet farm roads, crushed gravel tracks, and woodland paths. The riding takes place across the expansive Groote Heide, showcasing wide-open heathlands and peaceful pine plantations along the border. Wide vistas and uninterrupted natural stretches give the tour a smooth and tranquil momentum. Choosing either the 79 km loop or the 121 km route makes for a rewarding late-autumn off-road adventure.
