Dwars door West-Vlaanderen is a road bicycle race through the Belgian province of West Flanders.

[1] The race was originally created unter the name Omloop der Vlaamse Ardennen (English: Tour of the Flemish Ardennes) in 1945 as a one-day race.

It remained like that until 1999, when it became a two-day stage race and was renamed Guldensporentweedaagse.

From 2006 to 2016 the race was organized as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour.

[2] However, due to a shortage of volunteers for a race of this size, the organizers decided to cancel the event in 2018.
