It is spring in Cyprus and this is when Cyprus is at its best. A cool breeze, a bright-but-not-hot sun, green grass, wild flowers, a light drizzle – it is paradise out there. It’s time for the Scoda Cyprus Gran Fondo!

The Cyprus Gran Fondo is a 3-day Road "Cycling for All" event, which, since 2017, is featured among the biggest cycling events of the UCI as part of the Gran Fondo World Series for cyclists ranging from pros to beginners.

The event will take during the last weekend of March  and provides the perfect opportunity for recreational riders to qualify for the World Gran Fondo Championships held every year. All participants of Cyprus Gran Fondo will have the opportunity to earn their qualification in the Gran Fondo World Championship.

Starting every day next to the Mediterranean coast, you will climb some of the nicest mountains of the island and pass through traditional and rustic villages, enjoy the Cyprus weather and nature, before returning back to some of the best hotels in Paphos to enjoy your off-the-bike time!

Our idea is to bring passionate cyclists together, professional and amateurs riding shoulder to shoulder, to enjoy the amazing Cyprus nature and have fun in a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. 

There are 2 different race entry packages for the Cyprus Gran Fondo participants - the RACE and the GOLD package.
