The race was held from 2016 as a stage race under the name Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen - Johann Musseuw Classics (German: Three days from West Flanders - Johann Musseuw Classics ). From 2005 it was part of the UCI Europe Tour in UCI category 2.1. For the 2017 season, it was included as a one-day race in the Europe Tour calendar in category 1.1.
