Road Cycling is the Focus and Heart of America’s Premier Gran Fondo

(Santa Rosa, CA) - Levi’s GranFondo is a competitive road bicycle race and festival featuring 11 world-class routes showcasing the natural beauty and challenge of Sonoma County’s breathtaking coastal roads. This will be the race’s 12th edition.

Road cycling is thriving in the shadow of the cycling industry’s surge to embrace gravel. This is most apparent at Levi’s GranFondo, which remains the gold standard for road cycling events in Northern California and continues to appeal to a greater number of riders than any gravel race in America. 

The race will consist of eleven routes, from an 8.8 mile Family Route to the 117 mile Growler, to appeal to a diverse range of riders. The Gran route is considered the crown jewel of the event, with 102 miles and over 9k of challenging climbs, eye-watering descents, and unbelievably beautiful coastal California scenery.

Nothing can replace Meyer's Grade.

Families Ride FREE

Parents and children are invited to line up at the mass start and roll out en masse for a safe and scenic 8.8mi ride, 75% of which is on a dedicated bicycle path.   

U24 Ride FREE
