The Grand Prix Adrie van der Poel is a cyclo-cross race held in Hoogerheide, Netherlands, which is part of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup and normally the final World Cup race. The race is named after former cyclo-cross world champion Adrie van der Poel.
The first edition was held at the end of the cyclocross season of 1999-2000, when Adrie van der Poel retired from professional cyclocross racing. This was his last race, organised to honour him in his home village. The race was such a success, that it became a yearly venue. In 2003 the race became part of the UCI World Cup.
Van der Poel himself spotted the site in 1999 during a walk along the Scheldeweg. With a meadow, small woodland, lower fields and the steep incline of the Brabantse Wal (wall of Brabant), it was a great spot for a cyclo-cross with the capacity to host a large crowd. Adrie van der Poel designed the first parcours and still tweeks it to improve it every year.{{cite web |url=https://krantenbankzeeland.nl/issue/pzc/2014-01-30/edition/null/page/32 |title=Spelen met de Brabantse Wal, WK Veldrijden Hoogerheide |author=Ad Pertijs |date=2014-01-30 |work=Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant |via=Krantenbank Zeeland |language=Dutch}} on page 32 (Playing with the wall of Brabant, World Championships Cyclo-cross Hoogerheide){{cite web |url=https://www.indeleiderstrui.nl/veldrijden/voorbeschouwing-wereldbeker-hoogerheide-2024-mathieu-van-der-poel-op-adries-grond-week-voor-wk |title=Voorbeschouwing Wereldbeker Hoogerheide 2024 - Mathieu van der Poel op Adrie's grond, week voor WK! |website=In de Leiderstrui |language=Dutch |date=2024-01-28 |author=Tom van der Salm }} (Preview World Cup Hoogerheide 2024 - MvdP on Adrie's turf, week before World Championships!)
