Dive into the details of each day of this epic journey:

Pedal through rolling hills, picturesque villages and iconic landmarks, drawing inspiration from the rich history of the region. Every revolution of the wheels brings you closer to the ultimate achievement.

Cross that threshold and become a part of history.
🥇 Medal Ceremony
For those who conquer all three long distances within the designated cutoff times, the Full Long Course Weekend culminates in a triumphant medal ceremony.
Conquerors of all three distances step onto the red carpet to receive the iconic 4th LCW medal—a symbol of their indomitable spirit and dedication.
Embracing the Uniqueness of a 3-Day Endurance Adventure
Unlike a typical single-day triathlon, the 3-day endurance spectacle of LCW Belgium presents a distinctive opportunity for athletes. Spread across three days, it allows athletes to push their limits without the constraints of a single event. However, this extended format also offers a complication: muscles can become stiff, fatigue can accumulate and affect performance. It's a delicate balance between pushing boundaries and embracing renewal, ensuring each day brings renewed determination and the chance for unparalleled achievement.
