The Gran Fondo Riviera Nayarit 2025: World-Class Cycling in Banderas Bay

Riviera Nayarit is preparing to host one of the world’s most prestigious cycling events for the first time: the Gran Fondo Riviera Nayarit 2025. Next Saturday, April 5th, more than a thousand cyclists from various nationalities will traverse this spectacular destination in a challenge that combines the passion for sports with the natural beauty of the Mexican Pacific.

This event, rooted in Canada with the acclaimed RBC Gran Fondo Whistler, arrives in Mexico for the first time, solidifying Banderas Bay as an international benchmark for endurance cycling. The competition offers two challenging routes:

· Gran Fondo (90 kilometers)
It takes participants from FIBBA Beach in Nuevo Vallarta to the Sierra de Vallejo Biosphere Reserve, with an elevation gain of 980 meters.

· Forte (130 kilometers)
It extends the challenge to San Juan de Abajo, reaching an elevation gain of 1,120 meters.

Cyclists will have the opportunity to pedal through iconic landscapes of the region, such as Sayulita, Punta de Mita, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, and Bahía de Banderas.

Beyond the competition, the experience in Riviera Nayarit promises to be unforgettable. Both participants and attendees can relax on the region’s paradisiacal beaches, delight in a gastronomy that stands out for its ceviches, seafood tacos, and grilled cuts, as well as enjoy spa and aromatherapy treatments.

The Gran Fondo Riviera Nayarit 2025 will mark a before and after in the region’s sports calendar, establishing it as a dream destination for lovers of cycling and adventure.
