With four great cycling options and Sparty ... it's a rolling party from the starting line to the Finish Line Festival!
The MSU Gran Fondo is a fun, non-competitive cycling event to support Michigan State University College of Human Medicine’s skin cancer awareness, prevention and research.
Cyclists of all skill levels can join as individuals or teams and ride along scenic 12, 25, 40 or 80-mile routes from downtown Grand Rapids to Lake Michigan. Riders enjoy gourmet food stops along the route and celebrate at the Finish Line Festival with live music, craft brews and a grand feast.
