2026-2027 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup #5, Koksijde

Koksijde, on the Belgian coast, is one of the best-known sand courses in cyclo-cross, laid out through the dunes beside the town. It hosts the fifth round of the 2026-27 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup on Sunday 20 December, the day after the sand race in Antwerp. Long stretches of deep sand mean riders spend much of each lap running or fighting to keep the bike moving. Koksijde staged the World Championships in 2012.
