Top Gravel Stars confirmed for 2nd edition of the Growler Race at Levis Gran Fondo

Levi's GranFondo, the annual mass-participation road cycling event in Sonoma County, will livestream the last two hours of its professional road race, The Growler, and will be available to watch globally. The Levi's GranFondo Growler cycling race streams April 19, 2025, beginning at 11:00 a.m. PT on levisgranfondo.com.

With support from Skipstone and other partners, Levi's GranFondo is bringing live, long-distance road racing back to the United States for the first time since the end of the Amgen Tour of California, USA Pro Cycling Challenge, Tour of Utah and other previous live broadcasts.

The race will showcase the beautiful Sonoma County landscape and wine region with its world-famous roads that attract cyclists from all over the world.

In the women’s category Emily Newsom, Flavia Oliveira Parks, Heather Jackson, Isabel King, Lauren Stephens, Sarah Sturm return to race the second edition along with title holder Lauren De Crescenzo.

They will have their work cut out as Sofia Gomez Villafane has confirmed her attendance alongside riders including Paige Onweller.

In the inaugural women's race Lauren De Crescenzo attacked with some 80 miles to go and time trialled solo to the finish, some 12 minutes ahead of U.S. Gravel National Champion Lauren Stephens in second place, with Belgian Waffle Ride winner Sarah Sturm in third place. In the men's race, SBT GRVL champion Keegan Swenson outsprinted former WordTour pro Belgian rider Lawrence Naesen in second, with 2016 Brabantse Pijl champion Petr Vakoc in third place.

"The thrill of watching a long-distance road race is unquestionable and has been sorely missing in the U.S. for too long. We believe this event will be a pivotal moment for domestic racing and inspire public interest in the sport. Providing athletes with the opportunity to compete and showcase their skills to a wider domestic audience will ultimately contribute to the development of talent on North American soil," said Levi's GranFondo co-founder and Bike Monkey Founder Carlos Perez.

All participants who complete The Growler at Levi's GranFondo will earn themselves a unique, one-of-a-kind finisher’s award and the race is open to anyone.

The Gran Fondo

For mere mortals, Levi's GranFondo caters for all abilities of cyclists from beginners to experienced weekend warriors.

Levi's GranFondo offers 7 routes for a wide range of fitness and ability levels. From a casual ride on relatively flat ground through the bucolic wine region to the highly competitive Growler which easily rivals some of the toughest one-day races in the world.

There is the 11 mile Family route, 22 mile Piccolino, 40 mile Piccolino, 63 miles Medio Fondo, 81 mile Geysers, 120 mile Gran Fondo and of course the 139 mile Growler, the toughest route with over 12,000 feet of climbing and includes the torturous climb of King Ridge Road, the endless climbs on Stewarts Point Road and steep 13% gradients of The Geysers. Each one utterly full of wonder!

The 120 mile Gran Fondo, the biggest and most popular distance, a definitive cycling experience in northern California that mustn’t be missed. From the damp redwood forests at the base of King Ridge to the 360-degree panoramas at the top. And if you think the climbs are amazing, the descents back down to Sonoma will stay with you for the rest of your days!

Ahead of you is an unforgettable day’s cycling, with a mass start, full support on course and full emergency services. Several aid stations, each with whole foods as well as on-bike liquid and gel energy.

The cycling festival kicks off with a huge Expo and packet pickup at the start on Friday April 18th. On Saturday rider staging opens at 7am with the race and ride starting at 8am. The family orientated festival opens at 10am with Live Music, Food, Beer with the Awards taking place at 3pm.

Proceeds from all events at Levi’s GranFondo have raised more than $3 million since 2009 for the King Ridge Foundation, which serves at-risk youth organisations.

This year's GranFondo is not to be missed!
