The Krawatencross is a cyclo-cross race held in Lille, Belgium. It is held in the Lilse Bergen on the sandy edge of a bathing lake. The first edition was held in 1992, and it has been held every year as part of the Cyclo-cross Trophy, except in 2004 and 2016 when Belgian National Cyclo-cross Championships were held in Lille.

The literal translation of the name is Cyclo-cross of the Croats, which refers to a local historical event from the 17th century involving the Croat cavalry. [1] [2] [3] [4]
