The Herentals Crosst race, also known as Cyclo-cross Herentals, is a cyclo-cross race held in Herentals, Belgium. The race has been held since 2020 as part of the X²O Badkamers Trophy. In 2020 it replaced the Azencross Loenhout when organizers were looking for a suitable alternative in a less crowded area during the COVID-19 lockdowns.[1] The race is usually held in the month of December.
