Waregem

Waregem has served as a centre of horse racing in Flanders since the 19th century. The town stands in the Leie River region of West Flanders, while the Gaverbeek stream gives its name to the Hippodroom Waregem Gaverbeek. Waregem Koerse, first held in 1847, remains a major annual fixture and includes the Grote Steeple-Chase van Vlaanderen. The city is also home to Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial, where American soldiers of the First World War are commemorated. Waregem combines sporting tradition with the compact, intensely cultivated landscape between Ghent and Kortrijk.
