2026 Nove Colli
Event Date: 17/5/2026 Tour Dates: 15/5/2026 > 18/5/2026It was 20th May at 5 o’clock in the morning and there were just 17 pioneers at that adventure. The start? It was at the historic location of Bar del Corso, the ancient base of the association. That is where the story begins and became the oldest Gran Fondo in Italy – if not the world !
At that time there were no electronic chips and controls were carried out manually with a stamp on a sheet. For the first time an event hosted more than 10.000 people.
In 2010 the 40th year of this event was run with a limited number of the cyclists enrolled is 12.000. The Giro d’Italia will celebrate it participating in the final part of the route.
In 2025 the event will be in its 55th edition so that’s a good enough reason to join us. There are three distances to choose from 189km (3265m) , 138km (1827m) and 60km (363m) , all are challenging and will step up your limits in cycling.
