Gran Fondo Hincapie is heading to five unique cycling destinations for its 2025 Gran Fondo series, including a return to Chattanooga in May.
Cyclists can choose to ride the paved roads along scenic routes mapped and tested by George Hincapie. Backed by 30 years of event experience, Gran Fondo Hincapie offers a cycling experience for every type of rider. Multiple distance options include a shorter Piccolo, a mid-length Medio, or a longer Gran ride.
“The Gran Fondo Hincapie series always has been about more than just the ride,” Hincapie said. “It’s about bringing together a community of cyclists who share a passion for the sport and the camaraderie that comes with it.
“We designed our Gran Fondo to be challenging yet rewarding, offering stunning routes, excellent support, and a festive atmosphere that celebrates the love of cycling. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, we want every participant to feel a sense of accomplishment and be part of something special. We look forward to another year of great rides, strong community, and unforgettable memories.”
Gran Fondo Hincapie and the City of Bentonville are working together to grow Bentonville into a road cycling destination to complement the region’s existing gravel and mountain biking reputation. Hincapie events focus on the overall experience. The multi-day cycling celebrations offer scenic rides, live music and a family festival. Thousands of cycling pros, celebrities, weekend warriors and first-time riders have participated in Hincapie Gran Fondo events.
