Chapter V - 2026 - course d'ultracyclisme la plus difficile de Belgique

TAM No.5

From 300 km to 1 050 km

Pass the symbolic 500 or 1000 km mark, that’s when you open your eyes.

Staffed checkpoints

The checkpoints will give you a chance to catch your breath, and you’ll need it. You’ll be welcomed by Resist & Riders, so they know exactly what you’re going through.

200 participants

The number of registrations is limited to 60-70 challengers by distance. The peloton is family!

A vertical challenge

More than twice Mount Everest in elevation for the big loop. Who said Belgium was a flat country?

International

16 nations have lined up at the start of the Monster since the very first edition. The Ardennes Monster is a multicultural gathering, with its long route crossing borders.

50%

On average, this is the success rate that awaits you. One in two challengers will fall by the wayside.
