Binche–Chimay–Binche (also known as Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke) is a single-day road bicycle race held annually between Binche and Chimay, in Wallonia, Belgium. The race is rated as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour.
The race was originally held between Binche and Tournai. It was first organized in 1911 as Binche-Tournai-Binche; suspended between 1931 and 1983, but revived again between 1997 and 2009. In 2010, it was organized as the "Binche Tournai Binche/Memorial Frank Vandenbroucke", to commemorate cyclist Frank Vandenbroucke who died in October 2009 (at age 34) and the most recent winner of the race. In 2013, the routing changed from Tournai to Chimay, hence the name changed to Binche–Chimay–Binche.[1]
A women's race has been held since 2021, and is rated as a 1.1 category UCI event.[2]
