Recycling action
In Belgium, three million cell phones lie forgotten in a drawer. And yet 90% of the materials in cell phones can be recycled (copper, cobalt, silver, gold, etc.). In 2024, Proximus wants to collect no fewer than 140,000 devices and recycle them thanks to the collaboration with Brainscape. Together we prevent new extraction of raw materials in developing countries.
A warm call to all cycling fans to put their greenest foot forward and participate in the recycling action! This is possible at all Proximus Cycling Challenges mentioned in the calendar and at 6 rides of the Teamleader CRM Classics Tour. Your recycling participation will be rewarded. How? Find out via the button below.
Health
The organiser advises everyone to avoid strenuous efforts for which they are not physically prepared. Make wise choices about the distance you want to cover and/or the pace you want to set for your body. If you want to perform sports at a high intensity, it is best to have yourself checked annually by a (sports) doctor.
The submission of medical certificates is not compulsory. It is up to the athlete to decide how to deal with the information provided during a medical check-up. The organiser bears no responsibility in this respect.

Good cause: vzw Stop Darmkanker
The not-for-profit organisation vzw Stop Darmkanker (Stop Bowel Cancer) is a young, dynamic and independent NGO whose motto is: sharing knowledge can save lives.
vzw Stop Darmkanker wants to convince everyone that early detection of polyps and bowel cancer will drastically reduce the number of deaths from bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is a silent killer.
Every year more than 8,500 Belgians are diagnosed with bowel cancer. Every day 9 people die of bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is the second most commonly occurring cancer in women and the third most commonly occurring in men.- If bowel cancer is detected at an early stage, there is over a 90% chance of recovery. Knowledge about bowel cancer is still not adequate. Extra resources are needed to fight the disease.
Your contribution can also be life-saving. When you register, you have the chance to donate 5, 10 or 15 € to vzw Stop Darmkanker.
