At 226ERS we are driven by our passion for cycling and for supporting athletes in their most demanding challenges. That’s why, in 2025, we are taking another step forward by becoming the official sponsor of the Belgian Gravel Championship, which will take place on Sunday, August 17th in Westerlo, right in the heart of the Antwerp region.
A unique route in the heart of Flanders
The championship will feature a loop of approximately 50 km, designed to push each rider’s abilities to the limit. Cyclists will face:
- The gravel roads of the Kempen region, the true playground of Belgian gravel.
- Forest and rural trails around Westerlo, combining technical sections with fast stretches.
- Iconic areas of the Flemish landscape, where cycling tradition meets the adventurous spirit of gravel.
The “open” format will allow both recreational and licensed cyclists to take part in the event, although only the latter will compete for the national title.
226ERS: your energy every kilometer
We know gravel demands continuous effort, recovery capacity, and smart hydration. That’s why every rider will have access to the best sports nutrition from 226ERS, provided in both the race pack and along the course feed zones:

Our commitment to gravel
The 2025 Belgian Gravel Championship is much more than a competition: it’s a meeting point for professionals, enthusiasts, and cycling lovers. At 226ERS, we want to contribute to making sure every participant enjoys the experience, performs at their best, and lives gravel in its purest essence.
