Turbo Cross 2025 in Hofstade – from finish line to afterparty

Turbo Cross 2025 was wild from start to finish — and beyond. I went to Hofstade to watch the races and stood right at the finish line. Mud flying, riders pushing through the pain, barriers being launched into the air and bold shortcuts straight through the water. Four races, one location, endless energy.

What made this edition extra special is that Turbo Cross is organised by Average Rob and his team. And you could feel that vibe everywhere: sport, fun and entertainment blended into one big playground.

Seeing it all up close

From the finish line, you really experience Turbo Cross differently. You see the exhaustion, the focus and that last bit of power in the final sprint. Watching the celebrities race live was unreal, especially knowing how much effort goes into every meter of that course.

But Turbo Cross doesn't stop at the finish line.

From mud to madness: the afterparty

After the races, I stayed for the afterparty — and yes, it went exactly how you'd expect. Omdat Het Kan & Average Rob took over the decks and turned Hofstade into one big party.

As a special guest, Sachi (Samuel De Graef) joined in, and the atmosphere instantly went through the roof. Loud, chaotic, fun and totally unfiltered — just like Turbo Cross itself. From sport to party mode in seconds.

Why Turbo Cross just works

Turbo Cross hits different because it's not only about racing. It's about experience. You come for the sport, you stay for the vibe, and you leave with muddy shoes and unforgettable memories.

I came to watch the action at the finish line, but I left feeling like I'd been part of something much bigger. Turbo Cross 2025 delivered — on the course and on the dancefloor.

Same place next year? I'm in.
