The Grand Rapids Gran Fondo is back this June

The NEW Grand Rapids Gran Fondo presented by KeyBank returns to downtown Grand Rapids on June 24th

West Michigan’s signature event returns under the auspices of renowned events management company Tris4Health, well known for their trademark events like the Grand Rapids Triathlon, Michigan Titanium, Waterloo G+G and many more.

In partnership with Robert Hughes, the visionary behind the MSU Gran Fondo, the new Grand Rapids Gran Fondo presented by KeyBank will continue the tradition of the previous event while moving it forwards into the future.

The Grand Rapids Gran Fondo is back this June

The Grand Rapids Gran Fondo boasts 4 distances with an 80 mile Gran Fondo, 40 mile Medio Fondo, 25 mile Piccolo Fondo and the ever popular Family Ride for adults and children of all ages.

The Gran Fondo is a classic route which follows the picturesque Grand River Valley through farm and small villages before reaching Grand Haven and Lake Michigan. The route back takes riders through expansive farmlands providing beautiful vistas and challenging rolling hills before for the final push into Grand Rapids. The Gran Fondo includes 3 catered rest stops to keep everyone fuelled up.

The 40 mile Medio Fondo twists and turns, through villages and farm roads that run along the Grand River valley. Challenging, fast, casual or just plain fun, this beautiful rolling route shares many of the same features of the Gran route and will suit a wider range of cyclists – from the casual recreationalist to the budding competitor. The Medio Fondo has 1 rest stop along the way with nutrition and hydration.

The 25 mile Piccolo Fondo offers recreational riders the full Gran Fondo experience in a manageable loop that will get you back to the finish line in plenty of time for post-ride festivities and fun with the family. It’s an excellent choice for riders who enjoy anything from a casual to a brisk pace. The Piccolo Fondo has 1 rest stop along the way with nutrition and hydration.

Fun Family Ride

The Family Ride offers an enjoyable and safe route that riders of practically any age, level of fitness or skill level will enjoy for both adults and children. Riders leave the city to discover the beautiful and scenic trails of Millennium Park. Everyone will be back in plenty of time for the fun of the Finish Line Festival!

Finish Line Festival

The fun really starts when riders cross the line in downtown Grand Rapids to enjoy the LIVE music, Gourmet Food and Craft Beer.
