From 18 to 20 September 2026, the Belgian Ardennes will host the Mad Jacques* for the very first time—an unconventional and convivial cycling event from France.

Starting in Spa, participants will travel across the Provinces of Liège and Luxembourg, discovering picturesque villages, remarkable landscapes, natural sites and local producers along the way.

Far more than a simple bike ride, this cycling adventure brings together more than 200 participants for a genuine two-day adventure combining bike touring, bivouac, encounters and shared experiences, all in a friendly atmosphere and culminating in a grand closing party open to everyone.

Participation is subject to registration and requires a fee, starting at approximately one hundred euros per person..
