The Great War Remembrance Race was a European single-day cycle race to be held annually from 2018 which passed through the Belgian province of West Flanders, organized by Flanders Classics and the organizers of Gent–Wevelgem as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. The inaugural edition marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and was held on 24 August 2018 and won by Mihkel Räim. Further editions were intended to safeguard continuing awareness of this historic war.[1]
Future editions of the race were canceled in June, 2019. The organizers cited calendar conflicts and similarities to other races in their decision to not continue the race.[2]
