The Cyclo-cross Maasmechelen race, sometimes called Cyclocross Maasmechelen or Wereldbeker Maasmechelen is a cyclo-cross race held in Maasmechelen, in the Province of Limburg in Belgium. The race has been held since 2022 and has been part of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup since then. The race is held in Hoge Kempen National Park on the location of the former coal mines of Eisden. The course has some steep down ramps and a longer off-camber section.
Part of the course runs alongside large mirrors belonging to the Ecotron Lab of Hasselt University.
History The Cyclocross Maasmechelen was first held in 2022 replacing Cyclo-cross Rupchen in the world cup program. The first edition attracted some criticism due to presence of pebbles and stone on the course, which was the result of the venue being a former mining site.
