In its first four years, the race was held in August with the start and finish in
Gulpen. From 2008 to 2013, the start and finish were held in
Valkenburg aan de Geul and in 2011 the race moved to the
spring. From
2014, the start was in
Sittard and the finish was on top of the
Geulhemmerberg hill in
Berg en Terblijt. In September 2016, shortly after the organisers of the Amstel Gold Race announced their
inaugural women's race for
2017 on mainly the same parcours, in the same region and in the same part of the season, the main sponsor
Boels Rental and race director
Thijs Rondhuis said there would not be a Hills Classic in 2017. ==Past winners==
