Granfondo Alè La Merckx
Where: Verona
When: 9 June 2024
This cycling granfondo, dedicated to the “cannibal”, Eddy Merckx, is one of the most scenic in all of Europe. Starting from Verona's fascinating Piazza Bra and arriving at the Le Torricelle climb, there are two race routes to choose from:
- the 129 km Granfondo with an elevation gain of 2,600 m,
- the 82 km Mediofondo with an elevation gain of 1,450 m.
As the organizers say, "Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to bring people together in a way that few other things do."
