Experience the legendary Battenkill Gran Fondo, celebrating its 23rd year as an annual spring classic. Set to return on Saturday, May 22, 2027, this iconic race traverses the picturesque villages and hamlets of Southern Washington County in New York, offering a mix of challenging terrain that includes 20% dirt roads. The event promises a rich runner experience with detailed course maps (pending), chip timing, and results. Participants can choose from three distances: the full 61 miles, mid-length 45 miles, or mini 23 miles routes. The race is USAC sanctioned, ensuring adherence to strict cycling rules, though a valid USA Cycling license is required only for certain categories. Moto support along with on-course mechanical assistance ensures safety and comfort throughout your journey. Feed zones provide essential hydration and nutrition, while the finish line awaits with podiums and age group awards, including top 3 places in each USAC category and specific gran fondo age groups such as under 18 to over 70. Gran Fondo participants also enjoy unique perks like custom pint glasses, medals, a free beer for those aged 21 or older (pending state regulations), and meal vouchers. Pro and elite teams are welcome; however, e-bikes can participate but aren't eligible for awards in the competitive categories. Battenkill Expo offers more than just registration—gran fondo participants receive race tees and additional incentives like free beer and meal vouchers. The event is not only a test of endurance but also an exploration of stunning landscapes, with direct passes through charming New York villages. Register early to secure personalized bib numbers by April 1, 2027. Parking will be available at the Cambridge Central School, while accommodations are plentiful in nearby hotels and motels or even glamping resorts. Volunteer opportunities abound for those looking to give back—groups can earn significant funds through their efforts!
