The Port Douglas Gran Fondo Festival is held in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, Tropical North Queensland. The three-day festival is the perfect excuse to visit and explore this stunning region. The 136 kilometre, 100 kilometre and 60 kilometre Gran Fondo courses, and the 48 kilometre Medio Fondo (Medium Ride) will be timed. These rides are not a race, so you can challenge yourself for a best time, or take the time to soak in the beautiful surroundings. Stop to take photos, enjoy the experience with family and friends and most importantly, stay safe. The Port Douglas Gran Fondo courses will take you along Great Barrier Reef Drive between Port Douglas and Palm Cove, while taking in breathtaking views through the palm trees alongside the Coral Sea. This road will be fully closed to traffic to allow you to really enjoy the ride and scenic course. Other events across the Festival weekend include the Hartley's to Port Mountain Bike Race, Cairns Post Criterium, Hemingway’s Brewery Sprint, Choo Choos FreeFamily Ride, Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina Festival Expo, local live music and after party! The perfect excuse to bring the whole family to Port Douglas for a holiday. While you are here, there are endless experiences to appeal to everyone.
