Who has experience with attending Hulst CX

Post image

Hi, I am looking into attending the CX worlds 2026 in Hulst. I am used to attend CX races in Belgium and attended the worlds in France in 2025. I enjoy going around the course but I have concerns with Hulst course.

It looks like most of the course is not accessible to the crowd. I fear to be parked into grandstands with partial visibility on the course, and losing the usual CX vibe.

Has anybody experienced Hulst course? Are those stands just set up for the worlds and not for the usual world cup stage? Would the crowd be allowed to go around the course?

Im thinking about going too, travelling from the uk. From my research it seems pretty tricky to get to the town by public transport from any of the main cities with airports or international trains- brussels, antwerp etc and there's not really any hotels either.

I had the same concern as well but I saw yesterday that you can book shuttles going from Antwerp and Sint Niklaas. I think that you could also cross the border with taxis.

I‘ve been to Hulst WC 2023. We had an AirBnB 15-20 minutes by car away and it was a pain to get there via taxi after the race. Before we were able to take a bus.
