Announcing the All-New Gran Fondo Utah!
The Gran Fondo National Series announced today the launch of an exciting new Series event: the Gran Fondo Utah. This highly anticipated ride will take place in Payson, Utah, on June 7, 2025, promising cyclists of all levels an unforgettable journey through the stunning landscapes of Utah’s Wasatch Front.
Gran Fondo Utah will feature multiple route options to accommodate riders of varying abilities, ranging from scenic, family-friendly distances to challenging courses for seasoned cyclists. The Gran course will tackle the iconic Nebo Loop climb, a challenging ascent that featured in past editions of the Tour of Utah in 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2018. Participants can all expect fully supported rest stops, timed segments, and the opportunity to compete for prizes or simply enjoy the ride at their own pace.
“Gran Fondo Utah will be a great addition to the Gran Fondo National Series line up of events and will offer cyclists in the Rocky Mountain region more opportunity to earn National Series Points and to qualify for the 2025 USA Cycling Gran Fondo National Championships, which is in turn a UCI Gran Fondo World Championships qualifying event,” said Gran Fondo National Series Founder, Reuben Kline.
