The Prospera Granfondo Axel Merckx in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada is ranked as one of the best mass participation cycling events in North America. This granfondo is more than an epic ride through the heart of British Columbia’s wine country. It’s an entire weekend of cycling, family fun, and Okanagan sunshine.
The Granfondo Weekend features the 160-km Granfondo, the 126-km Velocefondo, the 92-km Mediofondo, the 52-km Cortofondo, as well as the Kids’ Piccolofondo, Cycling Expo and much more. Some cyclists will ride casually. Others will race. The beauty of the Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan is that everyone will finish in Penticton with a smile on his/her face. All four ride categories start at 7 a.m. from Penticton’s Gyro Park (also the site of the Finish Area)
