GRAN FONDO RUSSIA: for the first time a bicycle race will be held in Suzdal

Road races of the world-famous format are expanding their geography.

On July 9, the first cycling race of the international Gran Fondo series will take place in Suzdal District of the Vladimir Region. Many participants come from different cities of Russia and the world, so the organizers decided to expand the geography of the race.

Traditionally, participants can choose one of three distances: 30 km for amateurs, 57 km for the confident or 114 km for the most enduring cyclists. Unlike the previous Gran Fondo in the Moscow region, in Suzdal there will be no racing format, only the format of the race. Another distinctive feature of the Gran Fondo Russia on July 9 will be the route: for the longest and middle distances the route is circular. At the end of the event, all participants will receive commemorative medals and their personal time of passing the route.

Registration for the Gran Fondo Russia in Suzdal is open and a large number of applications have already been received. Many of the participants will come as teams and families. It will be a real celebration of cycling! You can register and pay for participation until July 7 (inclusive). After that registration and payment will be closed.

According to the rules of Gran Fondo Russia, anyone over 18 years of age can take part in the race if they have a helmet and a good bike. For safety reasons there is a restriction on bicycles – now in Gran Fondo Russia it is not allowed to take part in the race on bicycles designed for separate starts.

After the bike race in Suzdal, two more events of the Gran Fondo Russia series are waiting for the participants: Vozdvizhenskoye and Sochi. The full program of this season:

– June 25 – Sorochany (Moscow region);

– July 9 – Suzdal (Vladimir region);

– September 17 – Vozdvizhenskoye (Moscow region);

– October 1 – Sochi (Krasnodar Region).

Registration for the races in Vozdvizhenskoye (September 17) and Sochi (October 1) will be available soon. Follow the updates on the website and in the social networks of the event (VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram).
