Starting from the 2026 road season, Cycling Vlaanderen will switch to an online payment system for participation in cycling races. Through the MemberWallet tab in your personal portal, riders with a competition license can manage their digital wallet.
As a license holder, you can top up your MemberWallet online. This balance can then be used to reserve your place at races.
Test Phase in September 2025
Before the system is rolled out organization-wide, it will be tested at some road races in September 2025:
- 02/09/2025 – Tremelo – 1.12B – Elite 2/U23/2°jaarsjunioren
- 28/09/2025 – Overijse – U12 / U15
Pre-registrations for these test races will open in early August 2025. Riders will be informed in good time via the usual communication channels.
From the 2026 road season onward, the online payment system will be mandatory for all regional road races organized by Cycling Vlaanderen.

How to Register for a Race?
The registration process remains the same as before:
- Go to the Wedstrijdkalender (Race Calendar) tab in your portal.
- You’ll see an overview of all races open for registration.
- A new column called: Online betalen (Online Payment) shows whether online payment is required.
- Click Inschrijven (Register) next to the desired race.
The system will automatically check if you have sufficient funds in your MemberWallet:
- Sufficient balance?
Your pre-registration is confirmed, and the registration fee is reserved from your wallet. You’ll see this reflected in your balance.
- Insufficient balance?
You’ll receive a notification. You can then top up your wallet and proceed with registration right away.
Frequently Asked Questions about the MemberWallet
What if I cancel my registration for a race?
If you unregister, the reserved amount is immediately returned to your MemberWallet.
What if the race is full and I’m placed on the waiting list?
If you are placed on the waiting list, the registration fee will still be reserved.
If you’re still on the waiting list at the close of registrations and don’t get to start, the reserved amount will be automatically refunded about four days after the race (as part of the financial settlement).
What if I register for a race I’m not eligible for?
If your registration is rejected after review by the race operator, the reserved amount will be immediately refunded to your MemberWallet.
What about the race number deposit that used to be paid in cash?
There is no more cash deposit required at registration.
We trust that riders will return their race numbers. If not, the deposit will be deducted automatically from your MemberWallet during the race’s financial settlement.
What happens if a race is cancelled or removed from the calendar?
In that case, the full reserved amount will be automatically refunded to your MemberWallet.
Can I still register on-site at the race?
Yes, on-site registration is still possible, but a small surcharge will be applied.
We strongly encourage riders to register in advance through the portal.
What if I want to rent a transponder at the race?
Transponders can still be rented on-site, and payment is made in cash, just like before.
What if I don’t show up on race day?
If you don’t show up, the registration fee will not be refunded.
