Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie has grown to become a bucket list 'must-do' cycling and cultural experience! As the largest cycling event in Atlantic Canada, we hosted 992 cyclists in 2019. This year's 8th edition will be a special occasion as we return to the newly renovated Clare Veterans Centre in Saulnierville! Registration will open during winter 2026.
Although a timed event, this is more of a self-paced FUN group event, rather than a race. Choose from three distances: 128 km Gran, 67 km Medio and 36 km Piccolo. Cyclists are encouraged to register early to participate in draws to win a free registration or prizes. A meal is included, and cyclists can choose between a vegetarian option, BBQ pork or the perennial favourite, fresh lobster in the shell!
