Gran Fondo Città di Riccione 2027

The Gran Fondo Città di Riccione is an amateur cycling race beginning in Riccione, a resort town on the Adriatic coast known as the Green Pearl of the Adriatic. As the city's original gran fondo, it takes place in May and has completed over twenty editions, establishing it as a consistent event rather than a sporadic local ride. The route covers 99.3 km with 1,560 m of elevation gain, offering a challenging hilly day without becoming an extreme mountain challenge. Participants will cycle through small towns in the Romagna and Marche regions, with the course extending to the Republic of San Marino, introducing a unique cross-border aspect for an amateur race situated on the Italian coast.
