All courses for the 2023 edition have now been added on our website!
Right after the start you will get to warm up the legs very quickly, with most tours starting with the ascent of the Rue Saint Roch, known by road cyclists from Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the La Chouffe Classic. We’re turning right on the top for the first of many technical downhill sections.
Across the valley of the Ourthe
The river Ourthe twists and turns through the course of Roc d’Ardenne like a beacon. Participants on the Roc Marathon & Roc d’Ardenne will cross the river several times! With its many different faces the Ourthe valley will introduce you to the well-known recipe of this three-day mountainbike festival: constant climbing and descending! All courses were finetuned this year, taking on board comments from local bikers to make them even more attractive.
The final
The wonderful ‘Passerelle de l’Ermitage’ signals the beginning of the grand finale for (almost) all courses, followed by the last climb to La Roche Plate. Get ready for the massive downhill stretch of Sertomont, regardless of the distance you’ve completed. At the church of Houffalize you will finally get to see the finish line.
