As High Performance Centre Papendal, the City of Arnhem and Province of

Gelderland we are proud to invite media representatives to cover the 2018 UCI BMX

Supercross World Cup at Papendal, Arnhem.

Like in 2017 the UCI BMX Supercross Papendal presents two World Cup rounds, the

first on Saturday the 5th of May and the second on Sunday the 6th of May 2018.

From Friday the 4th till Sunday the 6th of May 2018 we are organising a long weekend

with three different events. Besides the elite sports BMX Supercross World Cup event,

Papendal is the starting and finishing point for the Holland Classic, an event for

recreational cyclists and mountain bikers. Last but not least there is our cultural event

called Framed Festival. Music and foodtrucks: the recipe for pleasant chilling evenings

with smoking BBQ, American burgers and music all around.

Papendal is surrounded by one of the most beautiful areas of nature in The

Netherlands, so we are sure you will enjoy your stay. If you don’t find all the

necessary information in this media guide, don’t hesitate to contact our Media Officer

for any further information: angelique.vandongen@papendal.nl / 06 10537846.

Bibs for photographers

A small selection of fully accredited press photographers, wearing a red bib, shall be

allowed to enter the infield of the track, the finish area and the protocol area during

practice and competition. Other photographers receive a yellow bib. With a yellow bib

you have track and finish line access during practice and warm-up sessions. During

competition the yellow bib provides no access to the infield of the track.

The selection will be made by the organisation which is not to be discussed. It is

advised to bring the long lense either way.

About Arnhem &

Gelderland14

Arnhem is a bustling town where you will never get bored. Whatever your interests -

shopping, going out, culture, or the countryside - might be. The historic town centre of

Arnhem is definitely worth a visit. Restored to their former glory and joined underneath one

of the shopping streets, the 40 medieval cellars show you what underground Arnhem used to

look like. The history of the town is reflected in the town centre itself as well as in 100-year-

old Sonsbeek park, where you can take a rest in the heart of the town! The Church of

Eusebius dominates the skyline. This late Gothic ogive basilica boasts a unique glass lift, rising

to 73 meters and offering you a view of the centre. On your way up you will also see the

biggest carillon in Europe! Arnhem has been one of the most attractive shopping areas in the

Netherlands for years, boasting a range of large chain stores and little clothes shops. Arnhem

has turned into an attractive town for those with a passion for fashion. Your day, evening or

weekend in Arnhem should not end until you have been to Korenmarkt, the bustling

entertainment centre.

Arnhem is situated in the province of Gelderland, famous for its wonderful forests and

cultural habitats. For style and culture, visit Arnhem and the province. Here you find the

famous Kröller-Müller Museum with its extensive sculpture garden. The Netherlands Open Air

Museum, the famous Ouwehands Zoo and Burgers’ Zoo are also close at hand. And of course

the Airborne Museum. Discover the wonderful forests of the National Park “De Hoge

Veluwe”. This park is the largest continuous national park in the Netherlands. The area

consists of 5,400 hectares of forest, heathland, marshland and drift-sand. There is a great

diversity of plant and animal species and the Park is home to very rare species of thrush.

Together with the Jachthuis Sint Hubertus, the Visitor Centre/Museonder, the Kröller-Müller

Museum and the statues garden, the Park forms a unique and (inter)nationally famous

combination of nature, art and architecture.
