Prince Edward County Gran Fondo 2026

The Prince Edward County Gran Fondo begins at Isaiah Tubbs Resort on West Lake, offering cyclists 50 km, 100 km, or 150 km road routes through a prominent wine-producing region of Ontario. This event is a Gran Fondo in the straightforward meaning of the term: a substantial road ride with a mass-participation atmosphere, suitable for participants seeking anything from a brief supported excursion to an extended cycling journey. The routes traverse tranquil country roads, pass by vineyards, and extend through Sandbanks Provincial Park, with Milford, Picton, and Wellington noted as communities along the course. Participants receive marked routes and aid stations during the ride, followed by a post-ride gathering at the conclusion. The concept originates from Italy, where Gran Fondo translates to “Big Ride,” and the custom typically combines timed segments, widespread involvement, and refreshments post-event.
