Ronse hosts Para-cycling Road World Championships
In 2025 Ronse once again hosted the World Championships! The 2025 UCI Para-Cycling Road World Championships took place from August 28th until August 31st. It’s already the third time that Ronse was welcoming the very best cyclists from all over the world, this time in the para-cycling discipline.
Ride the Worlds
Together with one of the world’s best para-cyclists, the Belgian Ewoud Vromant, we created an accessible yet challenging route based on the 2025 World Championship’s course. If you can’t get enough or you’re feeling nostalgic, you can also take on the longer route to relive the 1963 and 1988 Worlds (though this is not accessible for everyone).
