The Brussels Stephex Masters returns to Wolvertem from August 26 to 30, 2026, and turnout is expected to be just as massive as before: the 2025 edition drew more than 42,000 spectators and over 340 riders from 45 countries. With that many visitors converging on one site over five days, getting there becomes just as important as the sporting program itself.
The cost of the ride
The fare is fixed and confirmed before you leave, no matter your starting point in Brussels or the surrounding area. No surprises from the traffic buildup around the venue on high-attendance days, particularly during the Rolex Grand Prix weekend, the event's marquee moment.
For a group heading to the event together, a business or van vehicle is available at the same fixed-fare model — often simpler than coordinating multiple cars and hunting for parking.
How long it takes
From central Brussels, expect around 30 to 45 minutes to Wolvertem depending on your starting point. On busier days, especially during the Sunday Grand Prix or evening shows, traffic near the venue can slow down the final approach noticeably.
Since the event is free and open to everyone, attendance can vary significantly by day and time slot. For the most popular sessions (Grand Prix, evening shows), build in extra time for approaching the site and finding the right entrance.
How pickup works
Heading to Wolvertem: your driver meets you at the exact address given at booking, with a 5-minute grace period built in after the scheduled time. Arranging your drop-off in advance avoids searching for parking at a venue drawing tens of thousands of visitors across the week.
Heading back to Brussels: after an evening show or a late-afternoon session, it's best to book your return trip in advance rather than looking for a taxi on-site when the whole crowd leaves at once.
What to know before booking
Luggage: for a day visit, no special arrangements needed. If you're attending the Stephex Breeding Collection Auction or picking up purchases from the exhibitors' village, mention any bulky items when booking.
Groups : a van works well for a group outing with friends or family, especially for Wednesday's Kids Day, dedicated to younger visitors. Payment: pay online by card when booking, or directly with the driver by card or cash. No card surcharge applies either way.
Booking a round trip from the start guarantees a driver is available late in the evening, rather than relying on taxis passing by after such a busy event.
