The race was first held in 1960 as an amateur event.[1] Since 2005, the men's event has been part of the UCI Europe Tour. It became a 1.HC race in 2017.[2]
Between 2010 and 2015, Dwars door Drenthe was held on the same weekend as the Ronde van Drenthe.[3] In 2011, Ronde van Drenthe and Dwars door Drenthe were held as a combined stage race, with each day retaining its own branding. The events reverted to being separate events in 2012.
2008 Ronde van Drenthe
Women's eventedit
A women's event was first held in 1998 as Novilon Eurocup, a one-day race.[4] Between 2003 and 2006, this was held as a three day event.[5][6]
In 2007, these three stages were replaced by three one-day races - the Novilon Eurocup, Drenthe 8 of Dwingeloo and Ronde van Drenthe.[7][8][9] In 2015, the Novilon Eurocup was held for the last time, and the Drenthe 8 became Drentse 8 van Westerveld.
The races use generally flat roads in the Drenthe region of the Netherlands, with the challenge being multiple ascents of the VAM-berg [nl] – a hill built on a landfill site. The climb is 750m in length with an average gradient of 4.2% and a maximum gradient of 20%.[10] Other difficulties are the ten cobbled sections on the route.[11]
