The 2015 edition of the Four Days of Dunkirk will follow a very traditional format. The five-day race will feature several stages for the sprinters, a few cobbled sections and a hilly queen stage on the penultimate day.

The organizers of the Four Days of Dunkirk have announced the course for the 61st edition of the race. In 2015, the race won't go into Belgium. Instead, the race which is held over five days, remains in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais province in Northern France.

As usual, the opening stage begins in Dunkirk and brings the riders over a few hills and cobbled sections before the finish in Orchies. The second and third stage are made for sprinters but on the penultimate day, the riders face the queen stage which finishes with 10 laps of a hilly circuit around Cassel. In the final stage, the riders return to Dunkirk where the sprinters usually shine.

Arnaud Demare has won the last two editions of the race.
