The Tour of Limburg is a European single day cycle race held in the Belgian region of Limburg.[1] The race was first organised in 1919 and remained on the calendar until 1994, with the course typically in and around the city of Sint-Truiden.[2] After 1994 it was no longer organised until it was reinstated in 2012 as a 1.2 event on the UCI Europe Tour, with the host city now Tongeren. Since 2014, the race has been categorised as a 1.1 race.[3]
