Cycling
80 Mile Ride
The KeyBank Gran Fondo 80-mile route follows the picturesque Grand River valley through farm and small villages before reaching the bayous and lake scenery preceding the turn-around point on Lake Michigan. The return route takes riders up through expansive farms, orchards and vineyards that provide some beautiful vistas and challenging rolling hills for the riders. The route then turns home for the final push into the center of the city and the finish line.
40 Mile Ride
The KeyBank Gran Fondo 40-mile route will follow the beautiful twists, turns, villages and farm roads that run along the Grand River valley. Challenging, fast, casual or just plain fun, this beautiful rolling route shares many of the same features of the 80-mile route in a length that will suit a wide range of cyclists – from the casual recreationalist to the budding competitor.
25 Mile Ride
The KeyBank Gran Fondo 25-mile route offers recreational riders the full Gran Fondo experience in a manageable loop that will get you back to the finish line in plenty of time for post-ride festivities and fun with the family. It’s an excellent choice for riders who enjoy anything from a casual to a brisk pace.
Family Ride (12 Mile)
The KeyBank Gran Fondo Family Ride is a 12-mile course that offers an enjoyable, safe, yet challenging route that riders of practically any age, level of fitness or skill level will enjoy. After leaving the heart of the city, riders will soon discover the beautiful and scenic trails of Millennium Park. Riders will be back in plenty of time for the fun of the Finish Line Festival.
