Road cycling events 2025: The world's best sportives and organised rides
All you need to know about the best road sportives and fondos around the world

One of the greatest joys of cycling is the opportunity to ride on beautiful roads all around the world and meet like-minded people while doing it. Events like sportives and gran fondos offer the perfect way of doing just that.
There is a phenomenal amount of choice on offer, so we've picked out the very best in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
It's important to note that RideLondon is not taking place in 2025, with organisers announcing they are instead working on a 'new concept', and the notorious audax Paris-Brest-Paris will be back in 2027 as it happens every four years.
It's worth bearing in mind that many of these events offer early bird discounts, as well as team and charity options.
Time to make some decisions and get training.
Need someone to decide for you? Here is what I would choose:
- UK: Etape du Dales
- Europe: Le Tour de Mont Blanc
- Rest of the world: RBC Gran Fondo Whistler

The event takes in most of the key Lakeland passes including Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott, and Wrynose. There are some challenging climbs here with Hardknott pass topping out at a 30% gradient.
Tech writer Tom Wieckowski has ridden the Fred Whitton twice and found the crowd support to be a standout. He was surprised by the amount of local people and cyclists at the event lining the roadside which helps you push yourself on the route's tough climbs. It made him feel like a pro cyclist for a few short minutes.
For 2025, each rider will receive a tracking device to allow friends and family to follow their ride. This is included in the entry fee.
Due to its popularity, the Challenge operates a ballot entry system for general entries in December. First-time riders are prioritised in the ballot.

The Isle of Man is utterly spectacular too, with its luscious greenery and rugged coastline - you might even be able to spot the Manx cat.

There are also two alternate shorter loops of 167 and 225km if you don't fancy a super long day in the saddle.

Distance: 135km
Location: Vaison-la-Romaine
Entry fee: €88 - €114
Feeling inspired by Mont Ventoux’s inclusion on the 2025 Tour de France route?

The GranFondo route takes in 3,200m of elevation in its 135km and begins in Vaison-la-Romaine. For the first time since 2010, the route heads around to Col de Fontaube and Col de l'Homme Mort before skirting round to ride through Gorges de la Nesque, and Flassan before heading upwards to the summit.

Distance: 280km
Location: Cesenatico, Emilia-Romagna
Entry fee: From €198
Much like the UK and Ireland versions, Chase the Sun Italia challenges cyclists to ride coast to coast from sunrise until sunset.
The Italian version starts in the birthplace of Italian cyclist Marco Pantani, Cesenatico on the Adriatic Sea, and finishes at the Tyrrhenian coast.
The route is laced with breathtaking roads and scenery as you climb through the Tuscan hills and vineyards but don't be fooled by the romanticism of this ride. Covering 280km with 3,300m of elevation will seriously test the legs, especially when the temptations of Italian gelato and local delicacies are tantalisingly close by.
Chase the Sun offers various packages for riders coming from the UK, including bike transport, which are listed on their website.
Marmotte Granfondo Alps – 22nd June, Bourg d'Oisans
Distance: 177km
Location: Bourg d'Oisans
Entry fee: €110- €130

At 177km long and with over 5,000 metres of climbing, the route takes in the Col du Glandon, Col du Telegraphe, Col du Galibier, Col du Lautaret, and to top it off finishes with an ascent of Alpe d’Huez. Gnarly.
In previous editions, the finishing times ranged between 5 hours 40 minutes to 13 hours!

Distance: 300, 160, 125, 75 and 50km

Maratona dles Dolomites – 6th July, Italy
Distance: 55, 106 and 138km
Location: Alta Badia
Entry fee: €156
One of the most prestigious and best sportives in Europe, the Maratona dles Dolomites is the choice event for an epic ride through the stunning Dolomites.
Now in its 38th year, the Maratona edition takes in 138km with a cumulative elevation gain of 4,230 metres, the perfect opportunity to test your climbing legs with the backdrop of arguably the most spectacular mountainous backdrops.
The Maratona is one of the most popular for a reason, it is simply a monster. The route starts in La Villa and finishes in Corvara and features the rather giant Passo Giau with its 10km at a 9.3% gradient, as well as other brutal climbs like the Passo Valparola, Passo Gardena, Passo Pordoi and Passo Sella.

Le Tour du Mont Blanc – 12th July, France
Distance: 330km
Location: Les Saisies
Entry fee: €170
Riding 330km with 8300m of elevation in one day is not an easy task, and that's where the Tour du Mont Blanc comes in, a serious challenge with a brutal and ruthless route.
For the twelfth edition, the route crosses France, Switzerland and Italy, and includes the Col de la Forclaz, the formidable Col du Grand Saint-Bernard, the Petit Saint-Bernard, the Cormet de Roselend and the Col des Saisies.
A long day in the saddle with a serious amount of grit and perseverance needed, but an incredible reward and a bucket list event ticked off. There is also the option to ride the distance over two days.
Registrations now open and the final few places remain.
L'Etape du Tour – 20th July, France
Distance: 131km
Location: Albertville, Savoie
Entry fee: €159
Another longstanding and well-known sportive is the L'Etape du Tour which offers riders the chance to take on a mountain stage of the Tour de France, a few days before the pros do.
It's the chance to find out how hard a mountainous day at the Tour is, and most importantly it’s the chance to say that you have ridden a Tour mountain stage. Cool, right?
This year the route is stage 19, 131km long with 4,500m of climbing and features 5 spectacular climbs. Starting in Albertville the route takes in the Côte d'Héry-sur-Ugine, the Col des Saisies, the Col du Pré, the Cormet de Roselend and finishes atop La Plagne.
It won't be easy, but it will be one you'll talk about for years to come.
The 2025 edition is now full for individual registrations however there is a chance to enter with a charity place and registered tour operators.
L'Etape du Tour de France Femmes – 2nd August, France
Distance: 100 and 112km
Location: Chambery
Entry fee: €109 - €129
Just like with the men's Tour, there is also a sportive which replicates a mountain stage of the women's Tour de France Femmes.
This year, riders can take on the Stage 8 route which starts in Chambéry and finishes in Saint François Longchamp atop the Col de Madeleine, the highest point of the Tour de France Femmes.
There is a choice of two routes for the sportive: 112km and 3490m of elevation, and 100km with 2950m of elevation. The 112km stage will feature three main climbs including the Col de Plainpalais, Côte de Saint-Georges-d'Hurtières and of course, the big finale of Col de la Madeleine.
It's the perfect opportunity to ride on closed Alpine roads and find out what it's really like to be a pro rider in the Tour.
The departure and arrival locations are the same for both routes and riders can ride solo or as a pair. Registrations are now open and final places are available.
TotalEnergies Gran Fondo Alberto Contador – 20th September, Spain
Distance: 147km
Location: Valencia
Entry fee: €74.99
The TotalEnergies Gran Fondo Alberto Contador is a good opportunity for a final surge of effort before the off-season, and the chance to ride alongside ex-pro, you guessed it, Alberto Contador.
Starting and finishing in the Mediterranean coastal municipality of Oliva, the route takes in 147km with 2,534 metres of elevation and features many of the roads used by the pros during pre-season training.
The main highlights are the well-known climbs of the Coll de Rates and Vall d’Ebo, as well as the Spanish weather, making this sportive a particularly good option for the late September sun seekers amongst us.
Rest of the World events
Gran Fondo Florida – 23rd March, United States
Distance: 35, 60 and 100 miles
Location: Dade City, Florida
Entry fee: $105 - $160
The Gran Fondo Florida is the first race in the US Gran Fondo National series, and coined the 'hardest Gran Fondo in Florida' thanks to its nonstop rolling hills.
It offers participants the chance to ride through central Florida’s Pasco County, along quiet roads and through picturesque horse farms and orange groves, a far cry from the landscapes of Europe.
The route starts and ends in Dade City, and a section follows the proposed Olympic road race course as part of Tampa’s bid to host the Summer Olympic Games.
Gran fondos also take place in Georgia, Asheville, Maryland, New Jersey, and North Carolina with the series culminating at the National Fondo championships. Each event in the series offers three distances.
Registration is now open.
Triple Bypass – 12th July, United States
Distance: 78 and 118 miles
Location: Evergreen, Colorado
Entry fee: $250
If you are looking for an epic cycling challenge in the US, the Triple Bypass ride is iconic and one for the serious grimpeurs.
Featuring a 118-mile route which takes in a whopping 3,290m of climbing over three of Colorado's mountain passes, Juniper, Loveland, and Vail.
There is also the option of the Double Bypass ride which is 78 miles long and covers just under seven thousand feet of climbing, so still a very decent ride. The Double Bypass start location for 2025 is still to be confirmed. If you need even more persuasion that the Trible Bypass is a good idea, there is free beer at the finish line.
Registration is now open.
America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride – 1st June, United States
Distance: 72 and 100 miles
Location: Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada
Entry fee: $150
It's a big claim for an event to be the most beautiful, but given the spectacular scenery of Lake Tahoe, we might just let this slide.
Riders will be treated to a spectacularly scenic ride, with Lake Tahoe's crystal blue water and mountain backdrops.
The century ride features an out-and-back on Highway 89 bike trail to visit historic Truckee, California, known for its logging, ice harvesting, and the Emigrant Trail, before continuing around Lake Tahoe.
Proceeds of the event go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, helping to fund their mission to find cures for blood cancers as well as support patients and their families, making it a great choice for riding with purpose.
Registration for the 100-mile event opens on 5th February 2025. The 72-mile event is now open.
Hotter N' Hell Hundred – 23rd August, United States
Distance: 100 miles
Location: Wichita Falls, Texas
Entry fee: $50
One of the oldest and largest cycling events in the US, the Hotter N' Hell Hundred is a smattering of sports events over a few days, and one of the highlights is the endurance ride event.
Taking place in August, it will be a scorcher, which is a nod to the event's name. Apparently, it was when searching for a way to celebrate the Wichita Falls centennial in 1982, that Roby Christie, of the Wichita Falls Bicycle Club, proposed a 100-mile bike ride in 100-degree heat, coining the name Hotter N' Hell Hundred.
You can also ride in a 5-hour supported century ride pace group for a $300 entry fee which is capped at 85 riders for a more exclusive experience.
The event isn't just about road cycling though. Over 10,000 people descend on Wichita Falls for 4 days, from 21st to 24th August, taking part in the road, gravel and trail running events.
Registration is now open and there is an early bird discount until March.
RBC Gran Fondo Whistler – 6th September, Canada
Distance: 55, 122, 152km
Location: Vancouver and Whistler
Entry fee: $220 – $453
The Canadian outdoor paradise of Whistler hosts an extraordinary cycling challenge, treating participants with a ride from sea to sky, quite literally.
The star of the route lineup is the Forte, the longest and hardest of the three options which takes in 152km and 3100m of elevation. It includes an 876m Category 1 climb up Cypress Mountain before descending to join the Gran Fondo riders all the way to Whistler.
Riders are treated to the turquoise expanse of Howe Sound as they press on to Whistler, and ride through the Tantalus and Garibaldi Mountain ranges.
The Forte option is limited to 600 riders. For a shorter option, the Gran Fondo and Medio routes feature just as spectacular scenery but with less time in the saddle. Registrations are now open.
Taiwan KOM Challenge – TBC October, Taiwan
Distance: 105km
Location: Yilan County
Entry fee: £125 approx.
One of the hardest and most unique races in the calendar, the Taiwan KOM Challenge is a quad-burning, gut-wrenching, stomach-hurling monster: an uphill 105km race with 3,275 metres of altitude gain, and yes, you read that correctly.
Aside from a few initial flat metres, the entire route is uphill on the Taroko Gorge and Wuling Pass Climb.
Despite how hard it is, it's a popular annual challenge for both amateurs and pros, and Tour de France winner Vincenzo Nibali is amongst its champions. The current record stands at 3 hours, 16 minutes and 9 seconds set by Benjamin Dyball in 2023.
It's a truly unique event and one which you (and your legs) won't forget.
The date is not yet confirmed for 2025, and registration is not yet open but organisers say it will be in due course.
