GranFondo PEI

Prince Edward Island is a beautiful place to ride, and in 2023, we are hosting our 9th annual GranFondo, it was the first GranFondo in the Atlantic Region of Canada.

Our unique combination of scenery and coast-to-coast Gran and Medio Fondo rides, combined with timed climb and sprint sections will offer a challenge to riders of all levels over three days, at a beautiful time of year.

On Friday, August 25th, we feature three ride length and difficulty options and lunch is on us!

On Saturday, August 26th, there will be a 150km-ish Gran Fondo and a 100km-ish Medio Fondo to suit your interests and level of training. There will be an opportunity to stop for lunch and nutrition zones are included. After the Gran and Medio Fondos, join us for the well earned banquet and award ceremony for all riders. The banquet will be serving up fresh local cuisine including lobster, mussels, potatoes, and more.

Starting in Charlottetown, we will provide lead and support vehicles to assist with traffic and safe passage.

On Sunday, August 27th, we have our final ride and our last included lunch at the Merchantman Restaurant. Did we mention great food yet?!

Amazing culinary

For some, food is just fuel to get us over that next climb or win that next sprint... but for most, experiencing Prince Edward Island's fine flavours creates lasting memories!

What's our secret? It’s simple! Our secret ingredient is our people.

Prince Edward Island is home for farmers, fishers, artisans, producers, chefs, and generations of families that have passed down their passion for local food.

We’re the home of “roll-up-your-sleeve” people who know what it’s like to get your hands dirty on a farm or to have saltwater spray over the boat as we bring up the latest catch.

We’re also generous, friendly folk who enjoy having guests over. We know how to have a good time, and we want to share these experiences with you.

So let's cycle hard and get hungry! There’s always room at our table.

• Morning coffee
• Nutrition support
• Lunch stops
• Island flavours banquet
• Lots of tasting!
