Echelon Gran Fondo is a series of European style mass
participation cycling rides (Cyclosportif rides) held on
epic courses in destination locations. Gran Fondos attract a
broad array of cyclists including casual riders, weekend
warriors, amateur racers and a few professional cyclists.
Each ride provides a challenge for everyone, including a
30, 60, or 100 mile road cycling option. For those who
want to compete for time or those with a personal challenge
against the clock, we have a special timed 40K section,
with a theatrical party atmosphere and a hill top finish.
An "echelon" is a group which benefits more by its formation
than by one's proceeding alone. Echelon is a unique
partnership with our participants who donate and raise
money, with our sponsors who donate merchandise, and with
our cancer institutes who volunteer their time to help put
on cost effective events. We reward individuals and teams of
5 or more riders to compete for prizes on and off the
course. We partner with LIVESTRONG and local
cancer institutes to raise money for cancer survivors,
cancer treatment and research. Together we Thrive.
Ride it, Rip it, or just have a Rage. From start to finish,
prepare to be doused in cheering crowds and unusual
entertainers. Sign up today as an individual or team,
sponsor a participant, or just make a donation to this
worthy cause.
