The Anneau du Rhin is a 3.621 km (2.250 mi) racing circuit situated near Biltzheim, France, about 35 km (22 mi) north of Mulhouse. It is used for racing and club sport events, track days and presentations.

In 2004, the route was extended with a western loop.[3] The route was completely resurfaced in August 2011 and widened by one meter.[2] Since 2013, there has been an option for motorcycles with a length of 3.621 km (2.250 mi), which can be extended to up to 4 km (2.5 mi) if necessary.
