The Netherlands is known for its love of cycling, and Gran Fondos are a great way to experience this passion firsthand. 

Many of these events also have a festive atmosphere, with music, food, and other activities at the finish line. The routes often feature a mix of urban and rural routes, taking in everything from city streets to picturesque countryside roads.

Two of the must-do Dutch Gran Fondos are;

  • Joop Zoetemelk Classic is named after Joop Zoetemelk, a former professional cyclist who was the last Dutch rider to win the Tour de France in 1980. The route passes through the Green Hart of Holland, a region known for its beautiful cycling roads and picturesque landscape. 
  • Amstel Gold Race takes place a day before (Saturday) the men’s race. The route traverses the Limburg region, known for its picturesque nature reserves and short steep climbs.

The table below lists all the Gran Fondos in the Netherlands.
