Held in mid-April, it is organized on the same day as the men's race at approximately half the distance.

[1] Like the men's event, the race starts in Maastricht and finishes in Berg en Terblijt, Valkenburg.

[2][3] The race forms one of the three Ardennes classics for the professional women's peloton - along with the Belgian La Flèche Wallonne Féminine and Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes.

It had a similar route as the Amstel Gold Race and, likewise, finished in Berg en Terblijt, Valkenburg.

Olympic road race champion Anna van der Breggen won the 2017 edition with an attack at 8 km from the finish.
