The event allows for plenty of biker flexibility. Competitors will select one of three distance options for the race: the Gran Route (110 miles), the Medio Route (60 miles), and the Piccolo Route (30 miles). The Gran Route race will feature four timed sections, and winners will be selected based on the best combined times. The champions of each race will receive a variety of prizes and awards!
