Beautiful, challenging, and inspiring, the Grafton Gran Fondo traverses scenic Southern Vermont in peak Fall foliage with 4,000- 8,000 feet of climbing, beginning and ending in idyllic Grafton, Vermont. It includes ascents near Mt. Snow, Stratton and Okemo, and picturesque sights along Vermont's famed scenic byway, Rt-100. This ride is breathtaking and will leave you breathless. 

The Grafton Gran Fondo is a benefit for the Grafton Elementary School, with proceeds supporting enriching extracurricular experiences for local children grades K-6th.

Start/Finish, parking and post-ride festivities are located at the beautiful Grafton Trails and Outdoor Center, a four-season outdoor recreation center. Overnight car or tent camping on the grounds is available here Friday and Saturday nights.

Included in the registration fee is on-course SAG support, fully stocked rest stops, and a complementary lunch. You'll also pass through several villages and hamlets with country stores along the way. Enjoy delicious food, fresh local cider and local brews after the ride, beginning at 1:00 PM.

Registration begins at 6:00 AM and riders are encouraged to take off between 7:00-7:30AM. This event is not timed, and it is not a race.
