In August, the ODS-Vitaal Classic will be back with three brand new routes that take you past the most beautiful spots in South Limburg. Together with your colleagues, business associates or family members, you can enjoy rolling roads, sweeping views and, of course, those familiar calf-burning climbs that make your legs burn just a little bit.
Be surprised by challenging climbs, playful loops and perfectly maintained routes that give you that real racing feeling.
Whether you’re looking for a sporting challenge or a day of team building, the ODS-Vitaal Classic gets everyone moving. Suffering together, laughing, challenging each other and helping each other to succeed – that’s what connection is all about.
There are excellent refreshment stations along the way, so you can continue with plenty of energy to the next climb or fast descent. This keeps the atmosphere good… and your legs strong.
