Gran Fondo Ciudad de Valencia

The Gran Fondo Ciudad de València is a road cyclosportive that returns on 7 and 8 May 2027, starting and finishing at La Marina de València, on the city’s Mediterranean waterfront. The ride heads inland from the coast into the hills of the Valencian Community, with a published start time of 8:00 am for the long routes.

Routes and distances

The organiser publishes three courses; the figures below come from the organiser’s route page for the latest edition:

• 177 km with 2,003 m of climbing: Canteras, L’Oronet, Alto Segart and Chirivilla.
• 148 km with 1,474 m of climbing: Canteras, L’Oronet and Chirivilla.
• 100 km with 1,097 m of climbing: starts in Náquera and finishes at La Marina, taking in L’Oronet and Chirivilla.

L’Oronet, Alto Segart and Chirivilla are the key climbs, with Segart and Chirivilla rated first category by the organiser. Check the official site for the 2027 route files and for which course runs on which day.

Registration

Registration is shown as open on the official site, through the Chip Levante platform. For the 2026 edition, fees started at €55 for federated riders among the first 500 entrants and rose in tiers, and the entry included a jersey. 2027 prices have not been confirmed, so check the official website before booking.

Why ride it

The route links the sea-level start in Valencia with a sequence of sustained inland climbs on a single day. Three distances let riders choose between the full 177 km challenge and a shorter day out, and the start and finish are in the city itself, which keeps logistics simple.

Where to stay

With the start and finish at La Marina de València, most riders will want to sleep in the city itself, arrive the day before to collect their bib and keep the pre-race morning stress-free. We do not yet list a certified cycling-friendly stay within 40 km of the start, but you can browse cycling-friendly accommodation across the Valencian Community and book early for event weekend.
