Your Experience

The 2025 Amstel Gold Race Sportive takes place on Saturday 19 April followed by the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday 20 April 2025. This a very popular Sportive with entries sold out every year.

The southern Dutch province is a truly beautiful area with characteristics that are not usually associated with Holland like a hilly landscape, a great restaurant and café culture and great food and drink. The local delicacy of ‘Vlaai’ is a pie filled with cherries, strawberries or plumbs that’s popular throughout the Netherlands. You just have to try some when you’re there and it is an excellent option for a coffee stop.
