Gran Fondo / Bentonville, Arkansas

Bentonville Sunday

Day Two of the ultimate cycling experience features a different set of road courses. The courses on Sunday starts with a gentle warmup heading north out of town, and travels through picturesque countryside into the rolling hills of Missouri before heading back down into Arkansas, approaching Bentonville from the east. With only a 5,000 ft elevation gain for the Gran and 2,900 ft for the Medio, these courses are a gentler option than the aggressive hills on Saturday, but both days feature a finish in downtown Bentonville with a big celebration at our free Family Fun Festival! 

 

Calling all Juniors! Learn more about our Junior Challenge ride held during the Gran Fondo Hincapie-Bentonville event.

 

Our Gran Fondo Hincapie-Bentonville also offers exclusive VIP packages. Upgrade your ride experience today!
