Bike route at Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs almost fully booked

UTRECHT – Interest in the bike route at the Kampeer & Caravan Jaarbeurs 2026 is high: twenty cycling parties have already registered, leaving only one spot available. This is significantly earlier than in previous editions. Organizers attribute the early demand to the Dutch Cycling Week taking place in the same week, allowing companies to use equipment already on site. Show manager Rachel Jankowski expects the route to be fully booked much earlier than usual.
