About the event

What can you expect?

LtD Gravel Fest King's Day Edition is more than gravel riding; it’s a celebration of cycling, of having a good time on and off the bike. It’s gonna be a day full of gravel, King's Day activities, live music, DJs, hearty food, craft beers and ‘Limburgse gezelligheid’. Start and finish will be at the Shimano Experience Center in Valkenburg.

Location & route

LtD Gravel Fest takes place in South Limburg, Netherlands. Like every year our routemaster created brand new gravel routes on komoot, our official route partner. We will take you over a well-balanced mix of paved and unpaved, flat and hilly, fast and technical, social and competitive routes. Pick your distance: 83 km or 133 km. Both loops have an extensive feed station powered by GrainLabs.

Shimano Experience Center Valkenburg
The start location, extensive King's Day meal lunch stop and finish festival is at the Shimano Experience Center: originated from the mission "Closer to Nature, Closer to People". It is a place where everyone can get in touch with cycling at the level that suits them. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced cyclist, you want to know more about equipment, you need a new outfit or you want to enjoy a cup of coffee in our coffee corner ... everything is possible.

King's Day activities, food, beer and music

LtD Gravel Fest 2024 will be a very special King's Day Edition. That's why our annual gravel party will be bigger than ever! Expect a great music festival where we will dance, enjoy delicous food and beers, celebrate life and camaraderie. Because it's King's Day we have great activities, DJs, live music and we'll serve Kwaremont as long as the stock runs. The after party will be epic!

Included in entrance fee: coffee before start, a King's Day lunch meal and a Kwaremont at the finish line. Two food stations powered by GrainLabs with all the food and drinks you need. The best bars and proper hearty food!
