From MOTORbeurs Utrecht we have a clear ambition: to inspire, activate and connect motorcyclists all year round. Not only during our event in Jaarbeurs, but 365 days a year. That is why we have become a Friend of the Zwarte Cross Open.
With this partnership we deliberately bridge the gap between the motocross segment and MOTORbeurs Utrecht. We want to be relevant to all types of motorcyclists: from sporty circuit riders and fanatical motocrossers to adventure riders, touring riders, custom enthusiasts, commuters and the new generation of (re)riders. The diversity of motorsport and motorcycle culture deserves one central stage, and that stage is MOTORbeurs Utrecht.
The Zwarte Cross Open is a nationwide motocross competition in which riders qualify for the finals during the Zwarte Cross (July 16-19, 2026 in Lichtenvoorde) via several competition days throughout the country. A competition that brings together talent development, sporting experience and national visibility.
With this partnership:
- We explicitly connect the sporty motocross community to MOTORbeurs Utrecht;
- Strengthen the cross and offroad position within our event;
- Increase the visibility of the MOTORbeurs Utrecht brand throughout the country
- Building a closer, wider motorcycle community year round
During our anniversary edition, the Zwarte Cross Open will be present and have its own activity, the Zwarte Cross Open shooting gallery in hall 11. Vice versa, MOTORbeurs Utrecht will be visible on and around the circuits throughout the country. This way we strengthen each other in terms of content and reach.
The full calendar and race locations of the Zwarte Cross Open are known. Updates around the competitions will appear through the Black Cross channels.
