Allez Escapes

Fancy joining us in Calpe in October for the ?

Is it a race? 🏁
Is it a sportive? 🚴
Or is it somewhere in between?

The answer is… both.

A Gran Fondo is a mass-participation cycling event, held on closed roads, where thousands of riders take on an iconic route together.

Your time is officially recorded, there are age categories, and many events even award podiums, prizes or qualification spots for World Championships.

But… You don’t have to race.

Some riders are chasing victory.
Some are aiming to qualify for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships.
Others are simply there to challenge themselves, ride incredible roads and soak up the atmosphere.

That’s what makes a Gran Fondo so special. Everyone starts together, but everyone has their own goal.

At Allez Escapes, we love Gran Fondos because they combine the thrill of racing with the inclusivity of a sportive. Whether you’re pushing for a PB or just want to experience riding on closed roads through some of cycling’s most iconic landscapes, there’s a place for you.
