The Brussels Universities Cyclocross race, officially called Soudal Brussels Universities Cyclocross for sponsorship reasons, is a cyclo-cross race held since 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. The race is held on the adjacent campuses of the two neighboring universities namely the French-speaking Université libre de Bruxelles and the Dutch-speaking Vrije Universiteit Brussel at Eastern Ixelles. The race is part of the Cyclo-cross Trophy.
During the prize ceremony the top 3 riders are awarded a graduation cap.
History After the discontinuation of the cyclo-cross race Grand Prix de la Région Wallonne in 2016, the sporting event firm Golazo was allowed by UCI and Royal Belgian Cycling League to use its license to organize a new race in Wallonia or Brussels Capital Region. In 2019 the first edition was held on the site on the campus of both Brussels universities. Since the first edition in 2019 this event has been part of the Cyclo-cross Trophy series.
