Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo

The Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, presented by Taylor Adams Professional Chartered Accountants, is an opportunity for cyclists to participate in a world class Fondo, bring tourists to our region, and raise funds for local charitable endeavours. 

Gran, Medio and Piccolo Fondos are on offer.

The routes are well sign-posted and marshalled and riders are able to use aid stations positioned at intervals along the route to replenish their nutritional needs and drink supplies. Riders are provided with mechanical and medical support if needed. Some participants ride the event like a race, while others simply ride for a personal challenge and the camaraderie with friends and family.

The majority of the ride is on the quieter back roads of the area. The routes will be well signed and posted, marshalled and with safety warnings for drivers. Professional Traffic Control Services will control the intersections. However, 22km of the ride for all three routes travel on the non-motorized Northstar Rails to Trails.
