The Gran Fondo is a hugely popular and celebrated tradition in the Italian cycling world. Gran Fondo, meaning “big endurance”, is a long-distance, timed cycling event that welcomes competitive, amateur and recreational cyclists of all abilities.
The primary focus of a Gran Fondo is participation. Some cyclists ride for the satisfaction and pride in making it to the finish. Others want to improve on their previous times and to challenge themselves. And while it is not a race, some ride to be first.
For the first time, the 2024 Fondo will be held on a circuit with closed roads. Events range in length. For more info and to enter, visit the website below.
The Sunbuild Top End Gran Fondo is the major fundraiser each year for the Darwin Cycling Club.
