8,1 kilometer and 154 ascent meters per lap will be prepared for the contestants in the Cross-Country. The riders start at the "MBC De Zevenheuvelen" motorcross terrain at the edge of the Groesbeek forest. After a fast start the riders enter the forest, the first single-track will follow after only 300 meters. A fast track will form the first descent of the course.

The track turns into a fast, not so steep climb that leads the riders to the second, technical descent. Then 2 short but steep climbs form the next obstacles, with a single-track and a descent on the "koekleklef" staircase in between. Quick and precise shifting is required on this part of the course to keep up with the competition. A gradual descent takes the riders back to the motorcross terrain and the 3 kilometer point. The riders re-enter the forest, now on the other side of the terrain.

Narrow, winding single-tracks bring the riders to the notorious "wortelenpad”, a track full of tree roots, asking for bike handling skills and power from the riders. The end of the "wortelenpad" marks the halfway point of the lap and a fast and technical descent follows. From there it's the final uphill before the finish. This climb seems to take forever and there are many possible paths to follow: which one will prove to be the fastest one?

In the final 1,5 kilometer the riders will do a descent and some more relaxed tracks, leading back to the motorcross terrain. On the terrain itself lay the final obstacles before crossing the finish line. The men will do a 120 minute race, the women 90 will ride on the lap for 90 minutes. The course is hard and technical, where only the fittest riders will survive in the front!
