== History ==
Since 2005, the men's event is UCI 1.1 rated and is part of the [[UCI Europe Tour]].

Between 2010 and 2015, [[Dwars door Drenthe]] was held on the same weekend as the Ronde van Drenthe.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2015-09-22 |title=News shorts: Chavanel interested in Hour Record, Giant hoping to tie down Dumoulin |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-chavanel-interested-in-hour-record-giant-hoping-to-tie-down-dumoulin/ |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=cyclingnews.com |language=en |quote=Dwars door Drenthe axed}}</ref> In 2011, Ronde van Drenthe and Dwars door Drenthe were held as a combined stage race, with each day retaining its own branding. The events reverted to being separate events in 2012.

=== Women's event ===
A women's event was first held in 1998 as '''Novilon Eurocup''', a one-day race.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Been |first=José |date=2020-03-12 |title=Preview: The Classics continue at the Ronde van Drenthe |url=https://www.cyclingtips.com/2020/03/preview-the-classics-continue-at-the-ronde-van-drenthe/ |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=CyclingTips |language=en}}</ref> Between 2003 and 2006, this was held as a three day event.<ref>{{Cite web |date=13 April 2003 |title=Novilon Internationale Damesronde van Drenthe |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/?id=2003/apr03/novilondrenthe03/default |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=autobus.cyclingnews.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=9 April 2006 |title=Novilon Internationale Damesronde van Drenthe |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2006/apr06/novilondrenthe06/default |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=autobus.cyclingnews.com}}</ref>
 
In 2007, these three stages were replaced by three one-day races - the Novilon Eurocup, '''Drenthe 8 of Dwingeloo''' and '''Ronde van Drenthe'''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 April 2007 |title=Novilon Internationale Damesronde van Drenthe |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2007/apr07/novilondrenthe07 |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=autobus.cyclingnews.com}}</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=12 April 2007 |title=Drentse 8 van Dwingeloo - W1.1 |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road.php?id=road/2007/apr07/drentse8_07 |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=autobus.cyclingnews.com}}</ref> In 2015, the Novilon Eurocup was held for the last time, and the Drenthe 8 became '''Drentse 8 van Westerveld'''.
 
The first edition of Ronde van Drenthe in [[2007 Ronde van Drenthe World Cup|2007]] was part of the [[UCI Women's Road World Cup]],<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=14 April 2007 |title=www.cyclingnews.com presents the Ronde van Drenthe |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/apr07/drenthewc07/ |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=autobus.cyclingnews.com}}</ref> and the race became part of the [[UCI Women's World Tour]] in 2016. Dutch riders [[Marianne Vos]] and [[Lorena Wiebes]] have both won the Ronde van Drenthe event three times.
 
== Route ==
The races use generally flat roads in the Drenthe region of the Netherlands, with the challenge being multiple ascents of the {{ill|VAM-berg|nl}} – a hill built on a [[landfill site]]. The climb is 750m in length with an average gradient of 4.2% and a maximum gradient of 20%.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jary |first=Rachel |date=9 March 2022 |title=Ronde van Drenthe 2022 - Route, Predictions and Contenders |url=https://www.rouleur.cc/blogs/the-rouleur-journal/wwt-ronde-van-drenthe-2022-route-predictions-and-contenders |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Rouleur }}</ref> Other difficulties are the ten cobbled sections on the route.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ronde van Drenthe tussen hoop en vrees |url=https://www.rondevandrenthe.nl/nieuws/ronde-van-drenthe-tussen-hoop-en-vrees-01/03 |accessdate=7 March 2022 |work=Ronde van Drenthe}}</ref>

=== Ronde van Drenthe ===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
The Ronde van Drenthe is held in a flat part of the Netherlands but the course does have one main difficulty - the '[[VAM (bicycling)|VAM]]-berg'. The hill is a man-made berg, the result of a landfill, and the route up this 750m long ascent is narrow and kicks up to over 20% grade. The women hit the VAM-berg three times, and for extra fun will have sprint bonuses at the top. To make the flat route even more challenging, the course has several intermediate sprints and a few cobbled sectors.
