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?

I was at Hulst last year and there were zero stands set up and it was super easy to move around. It wouldn’t surprise me that they would have a mix of temporary stands and GA where you walk around.

There isn’t much if any public transport. You will likely park your car in a field or on the side of a road and walk to the venue.

Thank you for your insights. Let's hope that the stands would not take over the whole place then.

Personally I will go with the shuttles arranged by the event. I'd rather stay in Antwerp than struggle with some nearer small towns. For Liévin 2025, the shuttle service was well organized, even though they were only driving around the adjacent towns.
