Sport Vlaanderen Heusden-Zolder Velodroom Limburg opened in 2023 and welcomed an UCI approved cycling track, a center square for multi-purpose indoor sports (basketball, football, volleyball, badminton), a gymnasium, fitness, testing lab, bistronomy, etc. It will be the official venue for the European Senior Championships Badminton this august. The sports facility will also be the base for several European Championships and World Championships in track cycling in the coming years. In september it’s the start location of the European Road Championships Cycling, better known as ‘Limburg2024’.

As the complex is located close to the E314 highway, exit 27 ‘Zolder Circuit’, it is easily accessible to visitors. Facilities like showers, toilets, changing rooms, parkings, etc. make it a good base to explore the region as well. Afterwards, you can have a drink or a bite in the bar and eatery Odiel Bistronomy.

The wooden track is said to be one of the fastest tracks in the world, and everyone can ride it on fixed hours. You can rent a (Ridley) track bike as well, to discover it yourself or with an experienced initiator but during the event, the track will be closed. The grandstand has seating for 1000 spectators. A fully equipped gymnasium provides the perfect sports infrastructure for the local clubs and schools in Heusden-Zolder. Fitness enthusiasts working out in the 602 m2 fitness centre, with its beautiful view on the surrounding nature, will feel a bit like doing sports among the trees.

Circuit Zolder (also called Terlaemen Circuit) is a Belgian racetrack situated near the Velodrome. It hosts several national and international car sports competitions, as well as biking and BMX races. The most famous race on the racetrack is the 24 Hours of Zolder.
